Old Version of QUicktime on PC and unable to remove it

Question

I try to load the newer version of QUicktime and Itunes since my older version is not compatible with the new shuffles. I keep getting a message:
"The older version of Quick Time cannot be removed."
How can I get this removed, I have cleaned registry, removed ITunes and quicktime and still keep getting same error, any ideas how I can get past this so I can start using my new shufle???

Answer 1

Since that didn't work, try this:
1) First, make a backup of any tracks you purchased from the iTunes Store, if you have any. You'll have to locate these yourself, in your My Documents -> My Music -> iTunes -> iTunes Music folder. Then just copy them to a CD, external hard drive, etc.
2) Then temporarily disable any antispyware and antivirus program you may have installed (you'll probably want to disconnect from the Internet while these programs are disabled so download the utilties in steps 3 and 4 before you disconnect).
3) Run Microsoft's Installer Cleanup Utility and delete anything related to QuickTime and iTunes that it finds.
4) Clean up the Windows registry with http://www.ccleaner.com/ (freeware)
5) Restart your system.
6) Delete the QuickTime folder in the Program Files folder
7) Reinstall iTunes.
Hope this helps. If not, please start a new topic with your issue (please provide full details when you repost) so that your problem can be addressed separately from Lisa's.
Good luck.
