Does anyone know where I can get Quicktime player for Windows version 7.0.0 or a even beta. Please don't post links to later versions later than 7.0.0.

I am going to try to see if I can get someting working with win98SE. I might possibly be able to use a mac version 7.0.0. I have been googling for a while to no avail. Thanks in advance for looking.

These are all QTM versions I know of:

I have tried to force QTM 7.0.0 + 7.0.3 to work with 98SE. No go.
Looks like file dependencies are way off.
In my experience, all QTM 7.x.x versions are alike, no matter which one you try.

That's cool I have tried toying with what I could find too. The lowest version I have found is 7.0.1. I ran across this:

Of course it's for a mac. I was hoping somehow QT6 pro on Windows could use the updated codecs. Starting to look like a pipe dream.

I am going to try some off-the-wall idea. I installed XP on another partition, installed a some regisrty monitoring program (I can't recall it's name now), started it, installed QT 7.1.3 and got a reg file. I am going to try to use this to get this working with 98 after backing up the registry of course!

Question:

I see entries in the reg file like,

"QTComponentsDir"="C:\\Program Files\\QuickTime\\QTComponents\\"

Do I need to change the \\ (double slashes) to \ (single slashes)?

All directory + file separators in the registry must be represented as double backslashes [ \\ ].
This is why [scroll down to separators and delimiters]:

When you export registry data to reg files, paths on disk are always represented with double slashes. So it's normal.

Slashes are reserved in those files for the registry "folder structure" itself : key\subkey\subsubkey\etc...

I would think you will not manage to run Quicktime 7 on 9x as the most likely (I haven't looked into it) is that the Quicktime 7 files have missing functions in dependencies on 9x and this is something you can't do anything about with reg files.
