Hi, Frank
I got the same problem too and this is how I fixed it.
1.Go to C:\Program Files, then delete the entire QuickTime folder.
2.Go to C:\Windows\System32, then delete QuickTime. and QuickTime directory.
3.Click Start - Find/Search - All Files And Folders, select the hard drive ( C: ) to look in, type in QuickTime, then click Find/Search. when the list of files appear, right-click on and delete all the ones that you confirm are associated with QuickTime.
4.Click Start - Run, type in REGEDIT, then click OK. Click the + in:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE
Software
In the Software sub-menu, right-click directly on the Apple Computer entry, then click Delete - Yes.
(Note: If you click the + in the "Apple Computer" entry, you'll see "QuickTime" listed there)
5.Go back into the registry and click the + in:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE
Software
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
Uninstall
Start at the top of the Uninstall list and click on each sub-folder and look at the entries in the right pane. When you find the sub-folder for QuickTime, right-click it and delete it. The QuickTime entry will possibly be listed more than once in the Uninstall list, so keep going until you get to the bottom of the list.
Close the registry editor. The QuickTime entry should now be gone from Add/Remove Programs
6.Run CCleaner to help delete registry keys related to QuickTime.
7.Run Windows Install Clean Up to remove QuickTime installer.
