wine users - Dec 2008 - iTunes problems - and can't uninstall!

I'm trying to install iTunes 7.2 using WINE 1.0.1 on Ubuntu 8.10, after
reading an article in a magazine that suggested this was simple.

The install seemed to run OK, although I did get a black screen in the middle of
it.  However the application won't run - it looks like it's thinking
about it then nothing happens.  I've tried changing the setting from XP to
Vista, but no difference.

Most annoyingly of all, I can't seem to uninstall.  Every time I choose to
uninstall via WINE then it just carries on and installs Quicktime and Apple
Software Update.  It looks like it's uninstalled iTunes, but it hasn't. 
I tried deleting files from the C:\drive but it still seemed to manage to
re-install!

I'm no Linux expert, but good at following instructions.  Can anyone help? 
I can try different versions if that helps.  The iTunes could be 7.2.0.34, but I
can't see the exact version as 'About iTunes' doesn't work
either.

I'd like to either have a working version of iTunes, or to clean it off the
computer entirely.   This is a brand new machine that I'm setting up for my
mother.

Thanks in anticipation.... :?

Thanks so much!  I was on the point of reinstalling the operating system to make
it clean!
