The QuickTime web browser plug-in is no longer installed by default and is removed if you have a previous version of QuickTime on your PC. If you still need this legacy plug-in, you can add it back using the custom setup option in the installer.
This usually occurs if you have other applications or utilities running at the same time you run the installer. You should close all other applications, including any anti-virus software utilities, and then try to run the installer again. If you still encounter errors, you may wish to visit the QuickTime support page. If you have the QuickTime 3 installer, also see the answer to the next question.
Quick Time Installer
Note that QuickTime 4 is the latest version of QuickTime, so if you are having trouble with QuickTime 3 then you may want to download QuickTime 4. The QuickTime 3 installer uses a temporary folder in your boot drive for storing files needed during installation. Under Windows 95, this temp directory is located in the path "C:\Windows\Temp." Under Windows NT 4, this temp directory is located in the path "C:\Temp." This "Temp" directory may contain files from previous installations, that may interfere with the installation of QuickTime 3 (or other applications). To work around this problem:
When you install QuickTime, a window will come up which allows you the option of entering a registration number for QuickTime Pro, which is a more advanced version of QuickTime not included with Starry Night. You should leave all fields in this window ("Registered to", "Organization", "Number") blank and hit the "Next" button to continue with the QuickTime installation. When you run the Starry Night program itself for the first time, a different window will pop up asking for your name and registration number. You should now enter your Starry Night registration number and it will will work fine.

This is very helpful. I'm working on a silent install for Quicktime 7.7.6 and stumbled on this post. If I want to block software updates completely why do we need to still install the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi. I've been looking for an answer but haven't found one yet. Anybody know why it's supposedly required? Thanks.
BenS401, I believe the Quicktime msi calls for the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi. If you were to edit it in a msi editor like Microsoft's Orca you will probably be able to fix that. There is plenty of literature online on how to do it. I have nothing to suggest as I cannot successfully deploy Quicktime through SCCM's application catalog yet haha.
There's Quicktime SDK for Windows, but any application that uses it needs quicktime runtime libraries to be installed on the system (SDK itself just has headers and library stubs, and not the actual DLLs).
If my application uses Quicktime, I'd like to install the necessary libraries with it's installer, thus not requiring user to install Quicktime separately. What I'm looking for is some sort of "quicktime redistributable".
As of now (quicktime 7.x), I can't find a way to do that. I could bundle whole quicktime installer (about 20 MiB), and launch it with MSI's silent/unattended flag. However, that way it has several side effects:
In my application, I'd use Quicktime to import images, movies and audio files in various formats. If there is no sane way to install Quicktime runtime without side effects (changed file associations, extra icons, ...), then I should be seriously looking at alternative solutions (e.g. FreeImage to load images, perhaps DirectShow for video/audio).
Your best bet, AFAIK, is to use the full QuickTime installer (all 20MB of it), and have your main installer run it with a "silent" flag. That, at least, will allow your users to install QuickTime without a half-dozen dialogs (and without those annoying pictures of surfers in bikinis). The people at Apple's licensing division seemed to think that using the "silent" flag was acceptable, at least when we consulted them.
One warning: If the user already has an older version of QuickTime 6 Pro (or earlier) installed, then installing QuickTime 7 silently will nuke their QuickTime Pro registration and they'll have to repurchase it. We actually detect this situation in our installer and display a warning during the installation process, much like Apple does.
(One blessing for people who share my OCD tendencies: if you move the floating controls, they don't remember their position the next time you open a movie. Why is that a blessing? Because if it worked the other way, we'd all spend way too much time fretting about our inability to restore the controller to its default, precisely centered position. Sad, but true.)
The new QuickTime Player presents a decidedly iMovie-like (or is it iPhone-like, nowadays?) interface for trimming video. Still-frame thumbnails are placed side-by-side to form a timeline, with adjustable stops at each end for trimming.
In both the video and audio cases, I have to wonder exactly how useful the fancy timeline appearances are. The audio waveform is quite small and compressed, and the limited horizontal space of the in-window display means a movie can only show a handful of video frames in its timeline. Also, if there's any ability to do fine adjustments using something other than extremely careful mouse movements (which are necessarily subject to a limited resolution) then I couldn't find it. Final Cut Pro this is not.
The result for me was a QuickTime Player 7 application with all pro features unlocked and with no visible QuickTime Pro registration information. I did, however, have a QuickTime Pro license on one of the attached drives. Apparently, the installer detected this and gave me an unlocked QuickTime Player 7 application, even though the boot volume never had a QuickTime Pro license on it.
