Can't install Quick Time (VBScript error)

I recently got a new computer and I have a kodak digital camera that also records small videos. I installed the kodak software and I tried to play a video it told me I needed to install Quick Time, so I tried to download it and when it was finished downloading I got the following message. "ITunes could not be installed because Visual Basic Script in not installed or has been disabled. Make sure VBScript is installed, turn off script blocking in anti-virus and personal firewall software, re-register VBScript and then install ITunes"
Could someone help me, I have no clue how to fix the problem.
Thanks,

Can't install Quick Time 7 - Error 1721 problems with windows installer

I had QT 6 PRO and an old version of itunes working fine. I tried to upgrade to Itunes 6. The install failed at the last step of installing QuickTime 7.04.
The error message was "Error 1721.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." So, no QT, therefore no Itunes.
I did the following:
cleared my temp directory.
made sure I had the latest windows installer (3.1 v2)
removed all traces of itunes and quick time, using Remove Programs, the windows cleanup Utility and manually deleting all files as listed in info article 93976.
I downloaded the standalone QuckTime 7.04 installer, tired to install and I still get the same error.
I now have no quick time 6 or 7 and no itunes, and I have no idea what is wrong with the installer.
I do have access to the install log, and am delighted to reprint it if it will help.
thanks for any help people can provide.

On my iPad.....can I install quick time?

Will my iPad support quick time, or is there another program I need.
I went to play my phone messages and it said I needed QuickTime to play it.

QuickTime is already installed on your device.
You have other issues.

I can't install quick time - can't find .msi file

QuickTime won't install because it can't find the .msi file - and neither can I. Have searched computer - can't locate. Have uninstalled and reinstalled. No joy. Any other suggestions?

Take a look at Install Missing Components from my troubleshooting tip and scroll down to the end of the Further Information area for a download link for QuickTime. Between the two you should be able to extract the .msi file. Or read the second box on uninstalling all Apple components, cleaning up, and then reinstalling.

Can not "fully install" Quick Time on Windows Media Edition

My HP Pavillion 8000, operating on Windows Media Center, came preloaded with i tunes and Quick Time. I was initially able to use ArcSoft's multimedia e-mail program (also preloaded) and the SAVE AS feature of this program and save e-mails in Quick Time's (.mov) format (the other option is to save in the (.exe) format, which is NOT deliverable by hotmail - another sad story...)After a while, without me doing anything specific, this feature QUIT WORKING. Every time I try to save as "Quick Time (.mov) format" I get an error message stating: "you must first fully install Quick Time before you are able to perform this action". I thought upgrating to Pro might solve this problem, it did not, total waste of money. I uninstalled and reinstalled both Quick Time and Arc Soft's Multimedia e-mail, no luck. I cleaned out my registry (based on advise in this forum), and re-installed, no luck. Any suggestions? If not for the specific problem, any other good multimedia e-mail package that can save in formats deliverable by hotmail?

Thank you very much Jacumba, but I have managed to get it installed now, I do not know what really happened but all is well now.. Thank you again for taking the time to want to help me out. Have great day!

I have a similar problem installed firefox 4.0 update (x86 en-us) am told to reboot all the time. I cannot uninstall and it has also messed up my email attachments which I cannot now open except if they are microsot office.

Hi Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0 I am unable to clear history and get the message "quick time failed to initialize". I can delete history when in safe mode with plug-ins disabled. Re-installing quick time fails to resolve the issue. Any ideas?

Can't update Quick Time so can't install latest iTunes

I am truing to download and install the latest version of iTunes but my WIndows 7 PC is saying that it can't uninstall an older version of Quick Time player. It cant find Quick Tme.msi. Can anyone help me please?

Hi "whatheck" and thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately it doesn't help me much. I am trying to use the control pannel route to uninstall Quick Time but it says it can't find the .msi file so it cannot uninstall Quick Time.
When I try and run quick time it says it cannot find the .msi file so it won't run. When I try and install Quick Time either as an independant install of as part of an iTunes install it says I have an older version of Quick Time installed which it cannot find / over write.
I'm stuck ....... now what?
Thanks

Itunes will not play movies... To play this movie install quick time

I downloaded itunes on a new computer and it won't play movies. It keeps giving me the error "This movie requires Quick Time which is not included in this version of itunes. To play this movie install quick time." I've installed Quick Time, uninstalled it, installed it again, tried a change and repair trick that I read about but nothing has worked...please anybody help.

Okay ... that's left the field a bit open.
Can you check something for me please? I'd like to try doing a "Run as administrator" on your iTunes.
Quit iTunes first.
In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
Open the "Program files" folder.
Open the "iTunes" folder.
Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
Try playing the movie now. Does it play for you without the message?

I just installed Quick Time 7 and all-**** broke loose!

I took someone’s advice and I went to the apple website and d-loaded the latest version of QuickTime (Quick Time 7, http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ ) which in doing so, I now can’t play any of my HD MOV format recordings! This is so frustrating. The message I am receiving is that I need the older version of Quick Time to play my specific video, or that the plug-in failed to initialize, which sounds crazy! I already un-installed quick time and installed it again, and still not working…sigh…. What makes it even more frustrating is that when I open quick time 7, I can import/load one of my HD MOV loops and it plays it perfectly, but it will not let me save the file as an avi or other format, because I don’t own quick time pro. I don’t understand this, why won’t this latest version of Quick Time recognize the mov file? My older version worked fine. I can play it in quick time so why won’t this latest version recognize it on my desktop as a compatible quick time file? Why do I have to manually load it in quick time to play it?
In addition, what is the solution for the annoying error message I keep receiving every time I open the new version of Quick Time 7. The error message is “Export Controller Has Stopped Working.” I feel like a knob and after 2 hours of trial and error, I failed!

Double check and make sure you have administrative priviledge in MS Vista. I also had this problem of not being able to use Nero ShowTime or Vision. I believe it to apples way of killing the competition. What I suggest you do (if you don not have pro version) is to remove the QuickTime from the system, but make sure the protectionware (antivirus/malware tools) are disabled temporarily before you do. Then restart the system and open registry editor and search down all inferences to QuickTime in the registry, and delete them. Most are keys but some will be Values (in the right side). Open these values and backspace to remove them.For preferred delete the whole key.
Once you do this you will restore your players or editors to working state. The only thing that will change you will not be able to play QuickTime filetypes.

Buffer Override and Can't uninstall Quick time

I just upgraded to Quick Time Pro for $32.00 and can't get quick time or itunes to open. I tryed to uninstall Quick Time but it says error and can't uninstall. I get a Buffer Override when trying to open. I believe that I just got ripped off for $32.00. Apple must be short of money and ripping us off.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. See notes 1 & 3 below the box in particular, and include the ..\Program Files\QuickTime folder in the removal process.
Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

How to Fix the following Encore Error: "Quick Time system error: number = -1"?

Has anyone seen this error before in Encore? Quick Time system error: number = -1 How do you fix it? I get it while burning a DVD. I have the latest version of Encore and the menu I am using was exported from After Effects.
Thanks so much,
Heather

When I start Encore I always receive a warning that I do not have Quicktime installed
Since I do not use QT in any way, I ignore the warning and Encore works just fine
I also do not use menus from AE, so there MAY be something to look at
Does Encore work properly if you use one of the built-in menus?

Can't install safari extensions, I get the error message "Safari can't install this extension, An error occurred while installing the extension "Pin It Button"." Any suggestions?

Every time I try and install an extension for Safari I get the error message "Safari can’t install this extension, An error occurred while installing the extension “Pin It Button”." I have all the latest updates, working on OS X Yosemite v 10.10.2 / Safari v 8.0.3. Any suggestions?

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to search for an item named "Safari Extensions List". If found, delete it. Quit Keychain Access.
Quit and relaunch Safari.
