Bought a new Ipod and wanted to upgrad the softwares too - what a mess!

Please advise to install QuickTime!!!
Anything seems to help to my problem with the QuickTime installation error (code 3 when installed with iTunes and code 1402 and 1603 when updated separately), even I have tried all the tricks and steps found on this forum to the same error codes.
So, my error messages 1402 relates to the hkeylocalmachines/software/classes/QuickTime.gt/DefaultIcon - I have all the possible rights to my pc, but still anything can't be done with this in Regedit. I can't open the Quictime.gt at all nor check rights,as it's not opening.
When I cleaned my pc, with the guidance found here, of all the files left after removing the softwares I noticed that in Regedit there is lot of files directly under Classes named with QuickTime* - should those removed as well?
Thanks in advance! Brgs, JaanaLiisa
ps. eveything worked ok with the old iTunes and QuickTime, so this upgrade was very bad thing to do

When QT7 first came out, I ran into the same problem you are having. What I did was remove QT using the add/remove control panel, then did a search for all files all folders that were left behind and deleted them as well.
Next I went into the registry. HKEYLOCALMACHINE+Software and deleted Apple Computer,Inc. I then went to the Edit menu of the registry, selected Find and type in QuickTime. To locate registry entree's left behind.
After selecting Find from the Edit menu of the registry and type in QuickTime, you then hit the enter key on the keyboard. When a QT entree appears you delete it. You then hit the F3 key on the keyboard, which locates the next key. You keep repeting this process untill you have deleted all QT. There are many.
Once I had everything related to QT completely removed from the computer, I then ran.

The registry is risky to go into if a mistake is made it could involve re-installing the OS, so you may want to back it up, if you can count on that. Some people have used this link and claimed good results.
