Quiktime Failed to Initialize (error -2093)

hey i have itunes for a long time now its not working. I had accidentily uninstalled quiktime and you need it for itunes so i uninstalled itunes and i tryed to install it again... there was something that came up new and i did not recognize... it needed me to find "scan.msi" during the installation.

QuickTime failed to initialize error # -2093

WARNING: problems with latest iTunes update on WinXP!!
Something went wrong with the latest iTunes update and I started seeing errors indicating that some files were missing and that I needed to reinstall iTunes. I removed both iTunes and QuickTime (through ad/remove programs), then installed the latest QuickTIme and had no errors on the installation.
However, I now get the message above when launching QuickTime.
Apple support: what else can I try?

I found some help on the iTunes for Windows discussion.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1222907&tstart=30
Apparently the problem is caused by the QuickTime 7.3 installation that is bundled with iTunes 7.5. I followed the advice of the person who suggested installing the older versions, which i downloaded from oldapps.com. I have no idea who is hosting these older versions or if they are safe...
However, I removed all the Apple stuff including the software updater, etc and installed QuickTime 7.2. It worked fine for me so then I downloaded the most recent (OLDER) version of iTunes (7.4.2) and it is also working for me.

Entry point not found, failed to initialize, Error #2093

*+'The procedure entry point QTCF_CFUniCharGetUnicodePropertyDataForPlane could not be located in the dynamic link library QTCF.dll'+*
Has anyone seen this before? I've uninstalled twice and rebooted twice with no change to the error messages.
I have QTCF.dll in many of the file folders associated with Quicktime.
Thanks

'The procedure entry point QTCF_CFUniCharGetUnicodePropertyDataForPlane could not be located in the dynamic link library QTCF.dll'
It's usually caused by a misplaced, older version of the QTCF.dll lurking about in your system.
I have QTCF.dll in many of the file folders associated with Quicktime.
Perhaps it would be best to run an all files and folders search to check where they all are. Can you post back to let us know the locations of the various copies?

When I try to open iTunes, I receive a QuickTime failed to initialize (error-2096).

When I try to open iTunes, I receive: "QuickTime failed to initialize (error - 2096). It also tells me to unistall iTunes and then install iTunes again. If I uninstall iTunes, will I lose all my songs and videos?

Follow these instructions to completely remove Apple software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Then use free Ccleaner to repeatly repair your registry until it's fixed.
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
download iTunes again from Apple.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
You should be making backups of your content regularly, either through iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a external drive.
Windows is notorious for having "other" issues that make it unstable, we as volunteers helping others can't always resolve those issues.
After doing the steps above, stand by and others may be able to assist you.

doublechecking something before proceeding ... are any boxes ticked in the Compatibility tab for your QuickTime?
(i've seen that message produced when some of the Display Settings boxes in there are ticked, not just the compatibility mode one.)

After iTunes 7.6 update: QuickTime failed to initialize (error -2096

"QuickTime failed to initialize (error -2096).
QuickTime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes."
After upgrading to iTunes 7.6 this morning, I get this error when trying to run iTunes or Quicktime. I was using the Apple Updater. I got no errors when running the installer.
I downloaded the 7.6 setup file and attempted to repair the install. I still receive the same error.
There is an article indicating that turning off Compatibility mode would resolve this issue, but Compatibility mode is not turned on for iTues or QuickTime.
The same issue is discussed in the Quicktime forum, here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6400305
I am running on Windows 2003.
Note I had iTunes open earlier today, and it was working fine. It was only when I upgraded to 7.6 (I think I was at 7.4 before. It was definetly 7.something).

Thanks for this discussion and I hope Apple fixes this soon. It took me forever but installing QT 7.2 and installing the less recent itunes update from filehippo finally resolved it for me. Of course the reason it took me forever was that every time I reinstalled itunes, I was using the default setting that was updating QT & Apple also (in hindsight it sounds really dumb, but no one had mentioned that).
This is the first itunes update that has ever gone wrong for me - I've used itunes for 5 yrs (my 1st ipod was a 2nd gen touch wheel). I wonder if some MS developers went to work at Apple to exact revenge...?

Quicktime failed to initialize error -2096 using itunes 8, WinServer2003

Quicktime failed to initialize error -2096
I am getting this when trying to run Itunes 8 on windows 2003 standard
When i click on "QTInfo.exe" it says "Not Installed"
I tried re-installing a few times, all the regular stuff. When I searched help, all I see is a bunch of ninny suggestions like check if it is running in compatibility mode.
Itunes used to work with:
Itunes v7.7 + v7.3.1 Quicktime
(I did NOT use the standard itunes 7.7 installer, since it trys to install Quicktime 7.5)
Basically I'm looking for Apple or someone to tell me what are the files causing the problem so I can bypass it.
This is highly aggravating because we have 2 iphones now that are not able to sync because I updated them to v2.1 which doesnt work with v7.7 of itunes.
I do not actually use quicktime, so if there is a way to trick itunes 8 into thinking the latest quicktime is installed, that would be ok with me too.

I am going to try these solutions to see if they help. I need to backup my computer before doing so though, I dont want to lose everything.

Getting Quick Time failed to initialize (error - 2096)

problems with itunes, again & again & get the same message " Quick Time failed to initialize error 2096.
need help

That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):
iTunes for Windows: How to turn off Compatibility Mode

Getting the message- Quicktime failed to initialize- (error- 2096).....

I can't get into iTunes ever since this 7.6 version came out. I've downloaded it 8 or 9 times, and I have even tried downloading Quicktime separately, but I get the same message every time!! Help me! The full message is:
Quicktime failed to initialize (error- 2096)
Quicktime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes.
So annoying!!!

QuickTime failed to initialize-Error#-2096 QuickTime is required to run itunes.
Let's try to get one set of possibilities off the table.
Head into the Compatibility tab of the Properties for your iTunes.exe as per the following document:
iTunes for Windows: How to turn off Compatibility Mode
... however, when you're in there, make sure that none of the boxes are checked (not just the compatibility mode box).
If iTunes still isn't launching, head into the Compatibility tab of the Properties of your QuickTimePlayer.exe, as per the following document:
Error -2096 message when opening QuickTime for Windows in Compatibility Mode
... again, make sure that none of the boxes in there are checked (not just the compatibility mode box).
Any help with your 2096?

Quicktime Failed To Initialize (Error 2096) Quicktime unavailable!?!

I Have An Old 4th generation 40 gig ipod and a dell e521 pc. I have only recently had internet access, before I typed everything by hand onto my itunes program on my computer. I Want to buy a new ipod classic, but I'm Not sure if it would have been compatible with my outdated itunes program. So I Tried to download the newest verision of itunes and I Thought it was sucessfull, but after I Restarted my computer and attempted to open the newly downloaded itunes, I keep getting this error message that reads Quicktime Unavailable: Quicktime failed to initialize (error 2096)!?! i thought quicktime and itunes were being downloaded together. what am I Doing wrong? Thaks.

I had opened the QuickTime FOLDER Properties and the iTunes FOLDER Properties, which is why I did not see a Compatability tab. When I went into the folders, then into the files, I found that QuickTime was not set to Compatability Mode, but iTunes was set to run compatable with Windows 95. I unchecked the box. It appears that iTunes will now launch on my computer.
Thanks very much. You have brought some joy to my day.
