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.

  • Quick Time  requires a QuickTime.msi file to install? Not installing?

    Ok, I uninstalled Quick Time, because i h8 it, but now iTunes says it requires quick time. so i go to the apple website, get the installer and when i go to install it it gives me a message about quicktime.msi in my appdata\local\temp... folder, and I cant install quicktime without quicktime. Help? Plz... I have $130 on my itunes and I want to buy music.
    P.S. I have also tried to uninstall itunes too, and then install them both again, but it still gives me the message "Quick time could not be installled..." or sumtin' like that! HELP?

    If you're getting a missing QuickTime.msi message, I'd try the following procedure.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
    [Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301]
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and select "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Reboot the PC and try another QuickTime install. Does it go through any better this time?

  • Can't find .msi file after 1.4.2.05 install

    I'm looking for the .msi file to do a remote installation of java through Active Directory but I cannot find it. The java documentation says that it should reside in the "Application Data"\{-long-number-} directory, but this directory is not present after installation.
    I've tried installing in both local accounts and domain accounts, I've tried searching for the file during installation.. the file (or directory) just isn't there.
    Does anyone have a solution to my problem?

    Hi guys .. Well, I couldn't see the MSI in the UUID folder - could not even see the UUID folder. Is this before the install completes? (That is, while MS Installer is still holding the install set?) I note that Lagerweij is actually talking about _05 and not _06.

  • Cant update itunes to 10.5, error says can't find msi file

    cant update itunes to 10.5, error says can't find itunes.msi  when i try to remove/uninstall itunes it can't locate file to remove.

    The same thing is happening to me. Trying to update to itunes 10.5 but it's telling me that i'm "up to date" but when I go to "about itunes" it's telling me that I'm still on version 10.4. Now I can not update my iphone to the new ios 5. Any solutions???

  • Itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing"-- tried everything. I cannot uninstall it . Tried to re install quick time. Cannot find the option to click repair. What a nightmare- can someone help

    pls help!!

    There are a few ways to fix this. For me, going to add/remove programs and then clicking on itunes, CHANGE, then REPAIR worked. I was also getting an issue that after a few days or a reboot, it would kill itself again..
    Others have to completely uninstall itunes and quicktime, erase their program files directories, then reinstall quicktiem first then itunes.
    Others have to uninstall itunes, go to internet explorer and clear the recent downloads and the cache, then close ie, redownload, and then install itunes.
    Good luck!

  • 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!

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • Rotate movie feature not showing up after installing quick time pro key

    I installed Quick Time 7 Player for Windows and then entered my Quick Time 7 Pro registration code. When I open a movie, recorded on a Sony Cyber Shot camera, movie editing features are not showing up. I need to rotate my movies 90 degrees and that was the sole purpose of purchasing the pro addition.
    After reading through pages of on-line support resourses and endless calls for technical support (and receiving none), I am still unable to figure out what's going on. Any ideas? Thank you for your help and insights in advance.

    Sounds like you are trying to edit muxed mpeg files, the editing of which QT PRO does not support. It also will not export the sound from such files. If they are mpeg-1 you can use Mpeg StreamClip to edit or export them. If they are mpeg-2 you would first need to buy the mpeg2playbackcomponent. With that component installed mpegstreamclip will also edit mpeg2 files.

  • Cannot install Quick time 7 on Windows

    hi everyone. I am having a hard time installaing quick time version 7 on my windows XP SP2.
    Installer kicks off and after 5 seconds, I get messange "another process is running. terminate" or something like that. I am not running any other processes. I even went through MSCONFIG and checked off all third party processes but get the same result.
    I could install Quick time version 6.1. without issues though. Because I cannot install quick time, I cannot install iTunes. I cannot use iPod without the iTunes!!! Can somebody please help me out here?
    I tried the latest version 7.6 and also tried 7.2 but nothing works. only 6.1 could be installed on my PC.

    For what it's worth, at the point the installation fails, Bonjour, Apple Application Support, and Apple Mobile Device Support all show as installed on Control Panel. Apple Software Update has a link on the Start Menu but does NOT show as installed on Control Panel. Is there a way to install this separately from iTunes?

  • Problems installing quick time

    I have problems when installing Quick time 5, because when I finish installing it, it leaves me the following poster:
    "It was not possible to open the file because it is not a file that he/she understands quick it cheats"
    How I can solve this problem to be able to use it like it corresponds?

    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now run the utility (“Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up”), select any QuickTime entries in the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, and then click “Remove”.
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click Computer.
    2. In Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
    7. Restart your computer.
    Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through any better this time?

  • I've tried multiply times to update itunes 10.5 but it keeps saying that it can't find the file and i can't reinstall itunes because it will delete the 100 gigabites of info on it what can i do

    i've tried multiply times to update itunes 10.5 but it keeps saying that it can't find the file and i can't reinstall itunes because it will delete the 100 gigabites of info on it what can i do

    I've had all kinds of trouble keeping my iTunes software current over the past year, but have found the easiest way to remedy the issue is to simply download the latest version of iTunes as though I am a first-time user and then just install it into the directory my current version of iTunes is using. Doing this has allowed me to update my software without losing any of my media/data. Hope this helps! Best of luck!!!
