To Enable for BrightAuthor 3.8.0.x and later:

  1. Close BrightAuthor.

  2. Download iTunes for Windows from one of the following links based on your system architecture:

  3. Unzip the downloaded installer using a program like 7-Zip, which you can download from https://www.7-zip.org/download.html .
