Quicktime version 7 will not install

Ok i downloaded quicktime 7 for windows and proceeded to install it.. it went fine until the end where my firewall told me that a part of the program wanted to run every time my pc started... i did not want this (even if i did say for the install that i would like the software to be auto updated, should not mean i have to have it running in the background 24/7, i should be able to turn it off i thought.) - so i told my firewall to deny quicktime from adding an item to the startup list, then quicktime told me that it could not write to startup, why would you HAVE to have a part of quicktime running 24/7 anyway- we should have the choise not to, it should not affect the software from doing its job.
anyway i clicked on ignore in the quicktime install and the installer said it was backtracking (word like it), as if it was removing files now..
it said finished.. i tried to load a page with a quicktime video, having already installed the activex control... but it only asked me to download the installer.
so it had removed quicktime...how stupid of it to do so when i had not asked it to.
so i went to reinstall and all i get now is this...
something like... cannot find or initialise windows installer.. etc
ok i just tried installing again after waiting about 10 minutes and now it seems to be installing.. ok think it worked.
bye

THANKYOU FOR YOUR RELPY, THE PLUGIN ERROR COMES UP WHEN I AM ON THE QUICKTIME WEB PAGE. EVENTUALLY I CAN CLOSE IT.

"can not initialize plugin properly".
a few preliminary questions:
what plugin is being cited?
are you getting any error message numbers with that
error message? if so, what do they say?
do you get the error message when you go to launch
itunes or quicktime? or does it happen during the
installation process?
love, b

Quicktime latest version will not install

QuickTime Update will not install

Hi All,
I ran software update on my 2.3GHz Mac Book Pro today. The OS security update installed just fine, but the QuickTime 7.4.1, ProKit 4.5 Update, and iTunes 7.6.1 will not install. All i get as an error is: "Sorry, An unexpected error occurred" It seems that this is QuickTime related as it seems to be the common thread among these updates (and the os update went though ok). Current QT is 7.4.0 (92).
I have repaired disk permissions and ran the repair disc function on my OS partition, but i didn't help.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
My computer has Final Cut Studio 2, Adobe CS3 web, AE CS3, among other things.

I'm having a similar, but worse problem. The quicktime update crashed upon install, and now many of my programs don't work.
- Quicktime crashes when I click on it, telling me to update to a new version (more on that problem later)
- Windows Media Player gives me an error saying ""Windows Media Player" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "B<WindowsMediaPlayer><Apple;Carbon;Multimedia><CFMPriv_QuickTime>"
- Internet Explorer does the same shared library error
- World of Warcraft hangs the computer on a black screen when I try to launch it.
So, you might ask, why don't I just install the newest version of QT? I can't. When I try it through Software Update, it gets almost completely done, then says "sorry, an unexpected error has occurred. The installer has been moved to the trash. Please try again from the file."
If I move the installer out of the trash and try to install, it gets to 86% complete, then crashes and says "There was an error installing the software. Please try again."
If I download the installer directly from Apple's QuickTime site (and I'm installing the version for Tiger that is supposed to be good for OS 10.4.9 and above; I have 10.4.11, so in theory I should be good to go), the same error occurs.
So, not only can I not use QuickTime, but it appears as though substantial other portions of my computer are inoperable due to the botched software upgrade.
I, much like the original poster, would be greatly appreciative to hear any suggestions as to how to solve this problem.
Thanks

I cannot use itunes with windows 7. I think the problem has something to do with the fact that a 32 bit xp version was loaded on my machine. I can't uninstall it and the 64 bit version will not install.

I cannot use tunes with windows 7. A 32 bit xp version was loaded from my prior computer. It will not uninstall. The 64 bit version will noit install.

Download version will not install on MacBook

I purchased Version 2.0 as an upgrade download, but it will not install on a MacBook. Is there some trick. I have the multimedia version or so I thought.
Thank you,
Mike

You can't install the App Store version of Mavericks because your model needs a special version. If you ever need to reinstall it, boot into Recovery.

Help! Flash Player 14.0.0.125 (latest version) will not install?

Help! Have been trying to install Flash Player 14.0.0.125 (latest version) on my MacBook Pro. It will not install. I've tried all the suggested trouble shooting, uninstalling and redownloading, etc., etc. and still get the same result, or non-result. Appreciate any and all suggestions!

Carl,
Do you get any error messages suggesting why Flash Player can't be installed? Did you already have it installed and, if so, did you try to update through the Preference Pane? Have you tried restarting and making sure that all browsers are closed before installing?
Call back,
Clinton

Filemaker Pro 6 trial version will not install on iBook

iBook G4 running OS 10.4 will not install the Filemaker Pro 6 trial version. I am attempting to use it to update files from version 3. I downloaded the trial version from their site, and attempted to open it (it is a .sit file) and it says it cannot open the file.
The filemaker site is useless, and I find it impossible to find out how to activate my sign in ID to ask a simple question and they do not have any answers that I can find.
The version 3 was on my G3 PPC OS 9 laptop. Those files I will copy to the iBook G4 and supposedly I can update them using version 6.
Any ideas on opening this .sit file?
J

OS9 can handle archive file format .sit
OSX uses only .dmg file format
You have to search the web for a (trial or free) version of Stuffit Expander 2010 for Mac if you want to open the file using OSX 10.4

ITunes new version will not install

Im using a fairly new Samsung laptop with windows 7 (installed from manufacturer) and the newest version of itunes stops part way through install and will not finish. I can not update my iphone without the latest version... whats going on with this?

Hello there, pbrady2691.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some recommendations for troubleshooting:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Visio 2013 32-bit trial version will not install even with other 32-bit MS products only.

Trying to load MS Visio 2013 Trial to determine if it works so I can purchase full version.
Environment: MacBook Pro, w/ VMWare Fusion 4, Windows 7, running only MS Project 32-bit on the VMWare side. MS Office is not installed only MS Project.
Downloaded Visio 2013 Trial img file and attempted to install. Received 64-bit conflict with 32-bit software error message. Deleted Visio 2013 64-bit version and redownloaded Visio 2013 Trial img this time in 32-bit. Tried to install but the same 64-bit
conflict message is appearing. As the only software I have installed is MS Project 32-bit it does not appear that there should be a conflict. I have scanned TechNet and Googled to try and understand how to determine and resolve the conflict but
there are no threads to address this specific problem.
P.S. I cannot uninstall and reinstall MS Project as I spent hours on the phone with Microsoft and VMWare Support to get it installed the first time so I don't want to mess with an existing environment that is finally working.
Microsoft online chat recommended calling MS Support and they have now sent me to you. Can you please help?

Dear Smith_123:
Thank you for your reply. However, Office had never been previously on the OS as it was never purchased. I do have Office for Mac 2011 but that is 32 bit and is not on the VMWare / Windows side of the machine. But even if I had, I would not know
how to clean up the residual file or registry keys without assistance.
After 1 hours and 20 min on the phone last evening and being handed from person to person through literally 9 different people, I finally reached someone that seemed knowledgeable in MS Support. But all they would give me was a circular answer:
We can't help you because it is a Trial Version for which there is no support offered. When I explained I wanted to be sure Visio worked on my machine prior to spending between $300 and $600 on a copy, Support could only say that I would have to purchase it
first before they would give me any help to see if it works. When I offered to purchase it right then since I had finally gotten to someone who appeared as though they could help, he told me that he was Support and not Sales so I would have to go elsewhere
to purchase the product. Very frustrating.

Lastest version will not install. Library will not read.

Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder will not install

Hi,
I just got in my new iMac so I can edit video with Final Cut Express. Problem. I can't install the Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder.
I have this setup on my current computer. I have Final Cut Express with the decoder installed so that I can import ProRes files taken from my JVC camera.
I'm trying to setup the same thing on my iMac, but I get the error: "You already have a newer version of this software installed." But when I try to play the ProRes file directly, Quicktime tells me it can't play it.
Details on the file I'm playing:
MPEG-2 Video, Linear PCM, Timecode, HD (1-1-1)
And remember I can play this on my Macbook Pro running presumably the same software.
Chris

+" ... I just got in my new iMac ..."+
+" ... import ProRes files taken from my JVC camera ..."+
+" ... the file I'm playing: MPEG-2 Video ..."+
This doesn't sound right.
If your iMac is running Snow Leopard, QuickTime already has ProRes playback support embedded. You would not be able to install the QT ProRes Decoder. And even though QT on Snow Leopard has ProRes support, it still doesn't mean you can edit QT ProRes files in Final Cut Express.
And Pro Res from a JVC camera? Are you sure? Exactly what model JVC camera do you have that shoots in Pro Res ???
Plus, the file spec you quoted is MPEG2 ... If you have actual MPEG-2 videos, you need the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component in order to play them, not ProRes support.
I suspect you actually have a JVC HDV camcorder. HDV camcorders record video as MPEG2 on tape. Final Cut Express can capture HDV from a camcorder but it transcodes the video into QT Apple Intermediate Codec in the process (not ProRes). You can capture/transcode to ProRes with +Final Cut Pro,+ but not Final Cut Express.

Cs2 Illustrator education version will not install on mac

I installed the education version of CS2. Illustrator and InDesign won't install. Photoshop, GoLive, Bridge, Acrobat and Version Cue install fine. I completely uninstalled CS2 and re-installed it. In the dialogue box that asks if you want to install the entire suite or selected components, I can't select entire suite and if I click Selected Components, Illustrator and InDesign are greyed out and not selectable.
Anyone have a good idea why this is happening?
Thanks

It will. You can't install CS2 after installing CS3 or 4. Doesn't work. Uninstall the CS4 and dump all files, esp shared libs. You may have to use the CS4 Clean Script to remove all the associated parts.

Desktop 4.7 (or any other version) will not install

I'm a newbie, but not illiterate. Love my new Storm, but the Desktop software just WON'T install, either off the CD or from the download (same for versions 4.5 and 4.6, which i tried). Running Vista Ultimate.
On execting 470_b050_english_nomediamanager, the deocmpression is fine. It goes thru the script fine until it tries to actually install the program.. it freezes, just sits there (until it times out). I've scoured the Internet trying to find what might casue this problem. But most people are reporting "sync" problems AFTER they've installed.
I don't think it's another process running. I don't think it's contention with a Vista Service (tho i can't prove that). Other InstallShield apps install fine. And i don't think it's Norton Internet Security. But it's something. Will somebody more knowledgable please ask me questions? This is driving me nuts!
Thanks! And Happy New Year to all who answer this post!

Hi,
Are you saving the file to a separate directory like c:\temp then executing the file?
or are you executing the file from the download screen. I recommend the second.

Quicktime 7 will not install fully on my windows 7 64 home premium keeps stoping with an error while trying to create directory

I have a Laptop with Windows 7 64 Home premium, I have tried a few times to install Quicktime 7 on my laptop. But keeps stopping with an error saying "An error occured while attemping to create the directory: C:\windows\Installer\{F5266D28-E0B2-4130-BFC5-EE1-55AD514DC}
Windows is fully up todate, I have no virus or anything harmful on my computer. After clicking retry the error keeps popping up. I then click on cancel and delete the downloaded quicktime installer. I shut down my computer and try again. Same error with not luck. Any help?

Just in case, let's check for disk/file damage.
The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
