QuickTime Will Not Install - Key Error

I'm using a validated Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition.
I can't get QuickTime to install. I had it installed previously, but I deleted it. I tried to install it again and again, but I still keep getting this exact same error:

  • Quicktime will not install - no errors or notices

    Hi,
    I am trying to install iTunes + Quicktime off of the cd I received with my iPod 5G. I am using Windows XP. It allows me to install the ipod for windows software, then itunes, but when it tries to install Quicktime, the progress bar will continuously loop, i.e. it will make it to 100%, then go back down to 0% and start all over again. It does not give me any errors. I formerly had a 1608 error, but I solved that by typing ("C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Driver\8\Intel 32\IDriver.exe" -Embedding) into the "Run" dialog box in the start menu. I have tried installing an older version of quicktime (Version 6), which worked, but the installer would still try to install over it, leading to the loop problem.
    Thanks in advance to anyone that can help

    I am having the same problem as you. I tried to install itunes 6.0 on my windows 2000 machine with sp4. It goes through part of the installshield wizard setup and then the install window minimizes and after that nothing happens. There are no error messages either. I have tried the following...
    1) Install itunes from my new Ipod CD.
    2) Install itunes from a download from apple website.
    3) Install itunes 5.0 which didnt work either and gave me the same error
    4) Install an older version (4.9) of itunes which worked but is not compatible with my new IPOD
    I have the latest updates for my windows. PLEASE HELP

  • Voiceover kit will not install 1603 error win8

    Voiceoverkit will not install. Error code 1603. Running Win8. iTunes 11.0.5.5

    Hello tzachman,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you are getting an error message when trying to get the Voiceover kit to install.
    I found an article that seems to address this error code specifically named iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1603
    Error 1603
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts
    Here is the troubleshooting from the 1604 section that it references:
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Quicktime will not install on my PC - also stopping iTunes from working

    Quicktime and iTunes will not install on my Vista SP 1 PC, Whenever I try to install either I get the following error message;
    Quicktime - "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    iTunes - "The installation of Quicktime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires Quicktime."
    From my iTunes error message I hope that by correcting the Quicktime error the iTunes should in turn be fixed.
    I am using the latest installers for each and I can't understand why this is happening,
    I have tried completely removing my old version of Quicktime and tried to copy my other PC's Quicktime folder into this one however that has not worked. I have also tried using the latest installers multiple times however I always get the same error message.
    Please help me fix this error where Quicktime can't install,
    Thanks

  • Photosmart Essentials will not install Fatal Error

    Windows Vista Home Premium.  -- I recently move my Photosmart D7560 printer to a different computer.  I need to install Photosmart Essentials to allow me to print to a printable CD.  I downloaded the latest drivers for the full featured installation of the D7560, but the Photosmart Essentials will not install.  The printer works and prints fine, but the printing software gives a Fatal Error during installation. The message is Problem with windows Installer Packatge.  A program required for the install couldn not run.  Contact HP!  I tried the download 2 times from HP and 1 time from CNET.  Same error each time.  I do not have the original disk that came with the printer.  Is that the problem?  How can I get Essentials installed?  Thanks.

  • Acrobat Pro XI will not install.  Error says: Setup has determined you have a more functional product.

    I have Standard XI installed and Pro will not install.  Says Setup has determined you have more functional product.  Setup will now terminate.

    It may be that it is seeing the version number and not the product itself. All I can suggest is for you to deactivate and uninstall Std, then install Pro.

  • Quicktime will not install to Windows Vista "could not open key..."

    I have been trying to install Quicktime for some time.

    I kept trying and was able to install QT, but it would not open. Error messagesaid something about a "side-by-side" configuration.
    I am the only user/administrator of this pc. I have tried all troubleshooting steps on this website, including uninstalling all Apple software and all remnants.

    windows installer has stopped working
    a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avabilable.
    ... and that's one that I wasn't thinking of ...
    Head into your Windows Update. Are there any new updates available for you? If so, and you install, does that clear up the error message?

  • Itunes and quicktime will NOT install

    I have been trying to re-install itunes and now quicktime onto my computer.
    I get 3 messages. 1st one says that the install cannot find a file that does not seem to exist on my system. I tried find the file through its directory, cant find it!! It is a long directory with lots of numeric, very little alpha characters.
    Next message is "error 1714" The older version of itunes cannot be removed. Contact tech support.
    Next message "error 1603" Fatal error during installation. consult window installer help (msi.chm) or MSDN for more info.
    I have looked for help on many posts and apple's site. I have tried to manually remove quicktime and itunes and it will not remove the old versions????
    Someone please help me!!!!

  • QuickTime Will Not Install

    I downloaded QuickTime 7.5.5 from Apple.com and I tried to install the program. I got through all the installation windows except for the last one. The status bar that shows how much of the program has installed and how much longer the installation process should take stops at 86% and 85%. The time remaining maintains a "less than a minute" notification but, it never finishes. I let the installation try to continue for roughly 20 minutes but, no luck. I will probably call for support on this problem, but I didn't know if anyone else ran into this problem, or if anyone knows how to fix this. I don't use QuickTime all that much, but I do use iTunes a lot and it appears that the newest version of iTunes (8.0) will not open without the latest QuickTime.
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    Hi QandAknowit(noquite)all and welcome to the forums!
    Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two.

    An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:

    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • Itunes/quicktime will not install

    I am trying to udgrade my intunes to the newest version (7.34) to add music to my 2nd genertaion ipod nano. The installer will not even open giving the error message of invalid drive J:/. I already tried changing my ipod's drvie letter to (k) but it still shows the error message ivalid drive J:/.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you

    You obviously don't need 7.3 or 7.4 for 2nd gen Nano.
    It seems your system's temporary directory setting has been messed up so that the installer cannot unstuff itself.
