Error updating QuickTime7. can't find the quicktime.msi file?

Question

I get an error message when I try to update my version of Quicktime7.  It apparently can't find the quicktime.msi file in the temp directory?

Answer 1

First try this fixit:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
If that doesn't work you may need the the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility
Unfortunately the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility has been withdrawn by Microsoft because of compatibility issues with Microsoft Office so you will need to find a copy elsewhere – the installer is msicuu2.exe. You need version 3.
Google  msicuu2.exe download
mydigitallife in the above search has a copy of version 3
Check for malware before installing it.
After installing, To run the program  – All Programs>>Windows Install
If you get  permission denied error, Try Run as Administrator – an option if you right click on the program.
Try uninstalling Quicktime, this will probably fail, don't worry
delete the following folder/files (I am assuming 32 bit XP, if you have something else it may be different, post back with info)
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\
C:\Windows\System32\QuickTime
C:\Windows\System32\QuickTimeVR
Download QuickTime onto your PC
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any instance you find of Quicktime
Restart your PC
Install Quicktime
