Quick Time 7 won't install on win XP - How to fix

I have struggled lately with the QuickTime instalation problem. I had a previous version and for some unknown reason the upgrade to version 7 when installing iTunes5 did not run smoothly. So I lost the old version and could not indtall the new one also.
Of course iTunes5 could not work either without quickTime...
Here I will try to show a possible workout..

First of all uninstall iTunes!
You might get an error at the end of uninstall but do not mind.
Try to uninstall QuickTime!
This in my case did not worked, I got an error..
Check the following folder "Windows/System32" for the files:
QuickTime.cpl
QuickTime.qts
QuickTimeCheck.ocx
QuickTimeVR.qtx
If U got em that's our case!
(U might want to print this text out on a piece of paper for following the next steps...)
Restart your computer in safe mode!
(You can achieve this by pressing F8 before Windows XP starts)
Search the files mentioned above and delete them.
(these files can be deleted only in safe mode)
Restart the computer.
Install iTunes5.
Everything should run smoothly now.
This worked for me.
Cannot guarantee it will work for U but there is a chance

  • Error Message 3 Quick Time failed to install

    I have tried every way I know possible to download iTunes. I have loaded Quicktime stand alone, I have loaded iTunes to my hard drive and tried to start the install from there and not the internet. I have turned off all firewalls and virus/spyware software. I continue to get Error Message 3, Quick Time failed to install. I am very frustrated with this problem as well as the run around I'm getting from Apple. I can't even update my iPod. I thought my iPod purchase was going to be great. But after the short battery life issue and now the software issue. I am starting to re-think my purchase. Does anyone have a solution to the software problem that works??? Apple even tried to blame the problem on my computer. I see from all the people that have this problem in this forum it is not my computer. Please help if you can...Thanks, M

  • What if quick time won't down load onto computer

    Having trouble, Just bought the ipod touch and when i attempt to down load itunes it pops up with an error message that says quick time did not install completely and that itunes requires quick time. that is all the information is gives.
    please help if you are able.

    when i attempt to down load itunes it pops up with an error message that says quick time did not install completely and that itunes requires quick time.
    Let's try a standalone QuickTime.msi install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the QuickTime.msi to do a standalone QuickTime install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does an iTunes install go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Quick time won't open

    I have the latest MacBook 2,1 (1 GB) and have the latest updates installed. Anytime something is opened that requires Quick time, it comes up with a question mark inside the logo. What gives? I'm not a wizard, just a basic user.

    Same thing happens to me. It happens with firefox, aol and even safari. Anything that works with quicktime gives me the quicktime logo with a question mark in it. In the preferences I tried to click on all the mime settings but the bottom one reverts back to a dash and I can't open swf files. I have to use windows media player for those. I thought that that was the problem but after the update that I installed yesterday it happens on all the above mentioned browsers. I go on the bellsouth homepage to do a sudoku puzzle every day. I can't in none of the browsers anymore. Very frustrating not being able to watch clips/ videos of any kind. I can imagine that we see a fix from Apple within the next week or two.
    Cheers.

  • Reloaded Quick Time Won't Accept Registration Data

    Does anyone know how to go about getting Quick Time to accept the registration data for previously-purchased Pro and MP2 Playback capabilities -- reloaded on the same machine as before, after an XP SP3 "Bootlock"-induced reformat/rebuild ??
    Many thanks,
    Lee Hunt

    Excellent !!
    A thousand thanks for THIS tidbit. That's all it took to get QT Pro registered and running. The plugin, I fear, may be a horse of a different color however.
    THAT appears to have been an online install -- both from the website and from the fact that I don't have a copy of it in my library. I spent an incredibly frustrating half hour with the support [[sic]] crew who -- even WITH the Apple Part Number -- had NO idea what I was talking about and just bounced me around from one to another until they could drop me into the "we're closed now" recording.
    I wonder if anyone might know the filespec and registry settings for the plugin. Perhaps with those, I might be able to shoehorn the pig in with files recovered from the backup set rather than having to pop for a new license. I'll GREATLY appreciate any help along those lines.
    Many thanks,
    Lee Hunt

  • Quick time won't play in safari

    Quick Time Player won't open in Safari 6.0.

    I found a workaround - You have to restart Safari in 32 bit mode. It will play QT files. Of course this just means that it may make it unstable, but where were we before 64 bit anyway.
    I think those Apple nerds should get this sorted out - its been several years since people have posted the same problem, and I am not sure what motivates them, but it would help to get someone to explain the process or at least find a solution.

  • Quick time can't instal.

    Hello,
    I have a problem with installing the latest quick time. Gives me an error that is already installed the latest version of the program. The problem is that I do not have any quick time instaled because im manually uninstalled it before having trouble with his location after changing drive letters. I tried to remove all the registry keys associated with apple quick time and unfortunately it did not help. Next the installer screams that I have installed the latest versions of the program.
    Polish version of text.
    Witam,
    Mam problem z zainstalowaniem najnowszego quick time. Wyskakuje mi błąd, że jest już zainstalowana najnowsza wersja programu. Problem jest taki, że nie mam żadnego quick time zainstalowanego, ponieważ go odinstalowałem ręcznie wcześniej mając problemy z jego lokalizacją po zmianie literki dysku. Spróbowałem usunąć wszystkie klucze w rejestrze związane z quick time i apple niestety to nic nie pomogło. Dalej instalator krzyczy, że mam zainstalowana najnowszą wersje programu.

  • LR4.1 64bit update won't install on Win 7 system

    CAN'T install Lightroom 4.1 update on 64-bit Win7 system. I had absolute no difficulty installing LR 4.0 when it first came out - using the exact same locations / methods as I am trying (repeatedly) to install LR 4.1.
    I have tried various ways to install the Windows (Win 7 64bit) Lightroom 4.1 64-bit update and failed each time.
    I try to keep as little as possible on my C drive, so all of my programs are on my G: drive. When the installer asks where to unpack/install from, I specify G:/0temp.
    I then follow the Install instructions and get a message "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." In the window at the bottom of the message is: Use source: C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Local\Temp\(8D1593A4...). I'm directed to try again or enter an alternate path.
    I do a search and find it in a different temp folder C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Local\Temp\(something different...) and I direct the installer to that folder, but the install fails. When I close the install, the .msi file is removed, so cannot be run directly.
    Help!
    Jim

    I have a similar issue.  Running 4.0 - trying to instal 64bit 4.1. This installer *looks* to *maybe* have a hardcoded name for the TEMP directory - yet creates a randomly-generated name when expanding the files.  That may or may not be true, but based on what Adobe is paying ME ($0), I will leave tracking things down to Adobe.
    So - Win 7 64 Pro.  I run installer....
    Unpacks to desktop, all works fine until it goes looking for the .msi file.
    In temp during install it created this folder (different each time): {A70C3E1B-0B25-427C-94D8-65A581BE92C5}, or {96DD485B-D788-4156-9669-A0BFF8CFEB00}, or whatever it randomly generates.
    When it looks for the MSI - EVERYTIME on install it instead looks for (the same each time I run the installer): {50336421-E773-46E6-9029-155F4AF6E479}
    Even renaming/creating a folder of that name with all of the created files in it - including the msi - does not fix the issue.  I used browse and found the msi - then got errors saying it wasn't valid.  Did this 5 times - so REALLY unhappy.  No virus software running... so please dont even suggest that. When you find msi and say OK - you do not pass "go".  Instead - you get these:
    Big ups if that error message is from you Adobe.  "Contact your technical support group."  Very rich indeed. 
    So - the short form - Bad installer (probably) in that it seems to be doing a number of things and failing:
    Looking for MSI  - but not in the folder its creating it in
    Even when correct MSI is found (time stamped during install) - it declares the file no good
    Failing when exiting (to remove whatever has already been installed).

  • My email is crashing every time I open it. Any idea how to fix this?

    1 day ago my iPhone started crashing every time I opened my email. I've tried deleting suspicious emails (quickly before it crashes) but that didn't work. I went out to the web server and deleted the same emails and that didn't fix it either. I've restarted my phone and my phone is up to date on updates. Any suggestions on how to fix this? It's also now happening on my iPad and my husband's iPhone.

    Hi, I finally got it fixed and I think that I figured it out. I am sure it was a bid emial that got onto my server so I went to (For Me) comcast.net and cleared my server of all the emails then plugged my phone in and backed it up and then reset it to original settings. That solved all the problems and have not come back. Hope this helps. Phil
