i heard iTunes 5 was out, so i decded to get it. installation went fine, then it stucvk on the basics of quicktime 7 on my pc too, so i could use it. but then the problem began. it told me, iTunes need QT7 and i only had 6.5. but thats bollox, coz id jus dun it. so i ran the installation again. same problem.

uninstall them both, install quicktime 7 first, restart, then install iTunes 5.

You could do that, or simply recreate my computer situation, unistall them both, then simply run ITUNES 5.0 setup, it will install Itunes 7.0 at the same time :)

Install iTunes 5.0
Goto Add/Remove Programs and select QuickTime
Choose Uninstall Everything

Reboot
Install Quicktime 7.0
That should work.

Uninstall both iTunes and QT, and then reinstall iTunes 5.0 (worked for me).

jus tried that, whats happening is that iTunes insalls fine, but QT isnt. i have 3 places in my quick launch bar (iTunes, desktop and internet explorer), the rest i press a button and the rest pop up. the button is there, but nothing pops up. QT isnt by the clock and isnt in the add or remopve programs. but i can watch QT get installed durin installtion and it tells me it was ine. but nothing happens. it weird :S

(iv tried installing iTunes and QT installer 4 times btw, twice from the iTunes bit and twice from the QT bit)

Problem solved now.

Had him delete the Quicktime folder from Program Files
And delete HKLM\Software\Apple Computer Inc.\Quicktime from the registry and install Quicktime 7 from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html

A few people having problems with it then eh?

I got home from my vacation today and installed iTunes 5, but to my horror, Windows says iTunes needs to be closed 'cuz it's crashed as soon as I run it.
Anyone got a solution?


RE: iTunes 5 Needs Quicktime 7.0 by matty on 09-19-2005 at 04:22 AM

If you check the Event Viewer (Control Panel > Administrator Tools > Event Viewer) what does it say for iTunes under Applications?


RE: iTunes 5 Needs Quicktime 7.0 by Ben™ on 09-19-2005 at 04:44 AM

Nevermind. I removed it, installed 4.8, then upgraded to 5 and it works :S
