Error 2093

i have read the other topic about this same problem. i can not find a solution to this problem! sometimes when i open quicktime, that message comes up, and other times theres one that says "bad image, check to make sure quicktime is properly installed against your diskette."
HELP!

Dear Sir/Madam;
@ the present moment I don't have access to Windows Vista, however I have heard about the compatibility problems.
If I may make some suggestions;
(1) Make sure that the "updates" are for Windows Vista. Like must software on the Internet the publisher will left you know if their software is for 95, 98, Me, NT, XP or Vista.
QuickTime 7.3 (Windows Xp or Vista) @ http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Note: Observed the Windows Minimum Requirements.
iTunes 7.5 (Windows XP & Vista) @ http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Note: Remember to look @ the Windows Requirements & Additional Video Requirements.
(2) You might want to do a CLEAN INSTALL of the software. That is delete everything related to the old version (even deleting those folders & files that @ times don't get REMOVE through the ADD or REMOVE Programs component of the CONTROL PANEL or the UNINSTALL feature of the software) before you proceed w/ the NEW version. You'll find the QuickTime folder & files in the C:\Program Files area.
(3) Instead of having QuickTime & iTunes setup to automatically install these updates have it setup where it notifies you about an update & then proceed to the website @Apple.com & manually download it from there & install it yourself.
Also, if all fails, then contact Support @Apple.com @ Apple Software Upgrade Center @ 1 (888) 840-8433
& see if they may be of some assistance w/ your problem on your laptop.

QuickTime does not start on Windows 7. Error 2093.

I am unable to launch QuickTime on Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit, I get a "QuickTime failed to initialize. Error # -2093" error message. This is particularly disturbing since for some odd reason iTunes seems to require QuickTime and I need iTunes to sync my iPod (nice set of dependencies).
Anyhow, I've been getting this error since upgrading from Vista to 7; I've uninstalled both apps completely (though the problem seems to be exclusive to QuickTime) and reinstalled a lot of times. Oddly enough, from time to time a reinstall works, iTunes launches and I get to change my music, but that lasts until a reboot where it stops working again, and now I'm there; further reinstalls haven't been able to make it work again and I'm growing more and more frustrated.
I've read that the problem could be a missing quicktime.qts (or something like that) in the system32 folder of Windows, but I checked and it's there.
Between reinstalls I've also cleaned my registry for stray QuickTime info on it, but to no effect.
I am desperately in need of help; my iPod is pretty useless without iTunes.
Thanks in advance.

I am getting the error message you show. Ie. Entry point etc. in Windows Vista.
Okay. Go "Start > Computer". In Computer, go "Tools > Folder Options". Click the "View tab". Make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected and that "Hide extensions for known filetypes" is unchecked. Okay out of the tab.
You next step depends on whether or not you've got a 32-bit or a 64-bit Vista.
*If you're 32-bit:* Open the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Look for a QTCF.dll file. When you find the QTCF.dll, drag it out onto the desktop. Does QuickTime launch properly now?
*If you're 64-bit:*
First, open the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Look for a QTCF.dll file. If you find a QTCF.dll, drag it out onto the desktop.
Second, open the C:\Windows\sysWOW64\ folder. Look for a QTCF.dll file. If you find a QTCF.dll, drag it out onto the desktop.
Once you've cleared System32 and SysWOW84 of any copies of QTCF.dll, does QuickTime launch properly now?

"error code: -3" and "error -2093" during installation

I just got my fifth generation iPod a few days ago. When I try to install the software from the CD that came in the box, the installation program can never quite finish. It gets through iTunes but then hangs up right as it is about to finish installing QuickTime. Then a window pops up telling me "QuickTime Installation Failed Error Code: -3." When I click on the iTunes icon on my desktop, another window pops up. It says "QuickTime failed to initialize (Error -2093)." iTunes never opens, and I can't put anything on iPod until this gets fixed. I have no idea what to do.

hey b,
thanks so much for posting so many replies regarding error codes: 3, 2093, and 1406. at first i was having a hard time figuring out what to do first and then i sat down to read through your postings. you are the best! i followed the info you explained in this thread and others you referenced to.
i was worried that i wounldn't be able to use my itunes anymore but thanks to you i works now.
i was having trouble updating itunes 6 with Quicktime 7.0.3 and i was installing it and uninstalling it about 20 times. i even tried installing the stand alone QT 7.0.3 but wasn't successful because i didn't clean up the previous installation.
i basically followed the steps b lays out here and crossreferenced the other threads b wrote regarding the specific error messages that would pop up.
anyway i downloaded the installation.exe for QT standalone on my desktop. then i downloaded the itunes.exe on my desktop too but didn't run them. i deleted all previous installations and rebooted my computer. after the reboot i then shut down all applications running in the background (including McAfee firewall and viruscan) and did the stand alone QT installation. when i got an error message 1406 i clicked the ignore button and it installed QT anyway. then ran the itunes install.exe and it worked out great.
thanks b, great job!

QuickTime...Error #2093

I've been unable to access my iTunes on my main computer and I keep getting the message "QuickTime failed to initialize. Error #2093. Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed on this computer". I have always been able to log-on to my iTunes until recently but don't know what is happening now. Can anyone tell me what's going on? And what can I do to fix this? (It's telling me to "Uninstall iTunes, then re-install iTunes again...if I do this will I lose all my music )

I've been unable to access my iTunes on my main computer and I keep getting the message "QuickTime failed to initialize. Error #2093.
Quickly doublechecking something, gus ... is that a #2093 or a #2096? (The #2096 when launching iTunes has been much more common in recent times, and usually indicates something different from the #2093.)
If it's a #2093 when launching iTunes, could you let us know if your QuickTime Player is currently launching, please? If not, what error message do you get from your QuickTime Player?

"Error Code: -3" and "error -2093"

I just got my fifth generation iPod a few days ago. I decided to update my iTunes to version 6. I did this with the software cd that came with the iPod. Everything went smoothly until the wizard was just about to finish installing QuickTime. Then this window popped up saying:
Quick Time Installation Failed
Error Code: -3
So I pressed "OK". I was allowed to finish the the installation process. Then I go to click on the iTunes icon and a pop window saying this appeared:
QuickTime failed to initialize
(error -2093)
So I have been running around the apple support site for the past couple of days trying to fix this. My latest endeavor involved uninstalling everything and then trying to install a standalong version of QuicTime. That only yielded this pop up window:
Internal Error 2318
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\Plugins\nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
whatever that means, as well as this:
Error: -1603
Fatal Error during Installation
I would greatly appreciate any advice.
Jake

Please help. ITUNES has error 2093. re-install ITUNES has error code 3.

Hi,
My daughter and son have TUNES libraries. Clicking on ANY of the 2 libraries gets an error -2093 and the comment to reinstall. I reinstall and this gets an error code of -3. I saw a thread where someone had NORTON ( I don't). I use Microsoft, CA, and Spyware Doctor. Never had a problem before, but you've heard that one. Please help Does anyone know how this can be fixed? Short of a hammer to the computer, I can/will do anything it needs, but I don't have a clue what to do. THANKS !!!!

Do a QuickTime standalone install. That usually fixes the 2093 error.

Save it to your your hard drive - don't install over the internet.

Error # -2093 after installing and running latest Quicktimeplayer 7.3.0.70

On my Toshiba Satellite 1550CDS laptop which has been upgraded with a K6-III+ CPU @ 500Mhz, 160MB ram and running WinXP Pro+SP2 with all latest updates, I've installed and deinstalled several times already and always I get Err # -2093 about 5 minutes after trying to run Quicktimeplayer.
The error message says that Quicktime is not correctly installed!
I've tried running with the Compatibility box checked and unchecked without any change.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Reinstall packages that these files belong to.

Quicktime error 2093 windows xp need help

can not unload quciktime or get to load new quicktime can not run on windows xp I get error code 2093.
went to open the quicktime exe folder and running as me do not see how to over ride or check adminiatrator box

Can you check something for me please? (This isn't a cure in itself but may give us a heads-up as to the source of the problem.)
Create a new Windows User account with full administrative rights. Log out of your normal account and log into the new account. (Don't use Fast User switching to move between accounts.)
In the new user account, try opening the QuickTime Player. Do you still get a 2093 in there? Or does it launch properly for you?

Error 2093 attempting to run Quicktime (Windows 7 64 bit)

Hi, first time post.
I have a HP Pavilion running Windows 7 64 bit (not sure about SP number). Anyway, after installing Quicktime I'm getting the 2093 error when attempting to run it. I see 2 entries of the .qts file, one under c:\program files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem, and C:\Windows\SysWow64. I've done the steps recommended several times, run uninstall, make sure there in nothing in \temp, but problem persists. I did a search but did not find a prev. issue similar to mine.
Thanks

Excellent news.
It's never been clear which permissions are damaged in these cases, so it might be worth just setting the Player to always run as an administrator.
Right-click on the QuickTimePlayer.exe again, but this time select "Properties". In the compatibility tab, check "Run as administrator", and click OK. You should be able to launch the Player "normally" from now on.

Itunes quicktime error # -2093

QuickTime failed... Error #2093

Still can't get iTunes to load or work & have done all the suggested processes.. any ideas? what a POS this version is...

hi Edward!
you don't explicitly say what you've actually tried, so i'm going to tell you things you might have already tried.
the same procedures outlined here are also useful when dealing with the QT #2093 (you don't have to check to see if your QT is broken, of course):

Error -2093!!!quicktime does not download why not!?!please help me

i cant download quicktime!ive never had i-tunes before!
im using a windows 2000
ive followed all the instuctions on the apple service site!

hi katherine/eddy!
hmmm. okay, let's try another standalone QT 7.0.3 install. this time we'll take a few additional precautions.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.0.3 installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.3 Standalone Installer
if you get an error message on that install, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.
if the install goes through, will your itunes launch?

I downloaded that and it successfully removed Quicktime for me so i could reinstall everything. Thanks to whoever posted that!

QuickTime failed to initialize error # -2093

WARNING: problems with latest iTunes update on WinXP!!
Something went wrong with the latest iTunes update and I started seeing errors indicating that some files were missing and that I needed to reinstall iTunes. I removed both iTunes and QuickTime (through ad/remove programs), then installed the latest QuickTIme and had no errors on the installation.
However, I now get the message above when launching QuickTime.
Apple support: what else can I try?

I found some help on the iTunes for Windows discussion.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1222907&tstart=30
Apparently the problem is caused by the QuickTime 7.3 installation that is bundled with iTunes 7.5. I followed the advice of the person who suggested installing the older versions, which i downloaded from oldapps.com. I have no idea who is hosting these older versions or if they are safe...
However, I removed all the Apple stuff including the software updater, etc and installed QuickTime 7.2. It worked fine for me so then I downloaded the most recent (OLDER) version of iTunes (7.4.2) and it is also working for me.
