Quicktime 6.03

[Jorre]

been trying this one but it aint working

downloaded the full installer (QuickTimeInstaller.exe + QuicktimeInstallCache.qdat)

i found a few tutorials (one claimed to work on the 6 public preview)

you have to use a QuickTimeInstaller.ini

so i made one:

[QSETUP]license_option=0

registration_dialog=FALSE

show_readme=FALSE

show_sample=FALSE

show_programfolder=FALSE

install_qtinfo=TRUE

info: Customizing the QuickTime 5 Installer for Windows

even in the quicktime forums no answer has been given

If you are one of those people who hate Quicktime but forced to install it to watch mov formats, then you probably might want to use Quicktime Alternative 1.1 (Using Inno Setup silent install) and Media Player Classic - which supports Quicktime Alternative (one file copy)

I managed to create a little workaround to the silent installation. Maybe there is a different/easier way to install Quicktime 6.3 in silent mode, but this one definetly works:

You need to have Quicktime, that's for sure. Then create a *.ini file with exactly the same name your installer has (eg QuickTimeInstaller). I haven't tried different names though

The file ought to be namend QuickTimeInstaller.ini, must be placed in the same directory as the .qdat and installer file and needs to have the following content:

QuickTimeInstaller.ini

[QTSETUP]
INSTALL_QTINFO=FALSE
32Bit=FALSE
16BIT=FALSE
NO_DIALOGS=TRUE
SHOW_SAMPLE=FALSE
SHOW_README=FALSE
SHOW_PROGRAMFOLDER=FALSE
LICENSE_OPTION=2
SUPPRESS_SPEED_DIALOG=TRUE
DO_NOT_INSTALL_DESKTOP_ICONS=TRUE

That's about it. You don't need to run the setup file with any switches. Just a simple QuickTimeInstaller.exe call at your batch is fine.

For the people having a licence key or wish to backup their settings:

After you installed QT 6.3 you will find a file named QuickTime.qtp at the folder: \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QuickTime

after customizing your QT 6.3 installation (eg Registration) you may want to backup that file as it contains all valueable data, such as your registration key.

That's all folks!
