Quicktime 6: I have searched and searched... but..

[Sahil]

Nothing works for me.

I tried using the /A switch to make an AIP, but this is not a MSI, it is a .exe file.

Any other suggestions?

[totoymola]

How about running the original installer, and copy the files that it creates in the %temp% folder?

but this is not a MSI, it is a .exe file.

Really? I wish I can try it now..

[Sahil]

For some odd reason, it is working.

I added /f at the end just for the heck of it. Did a windows installation on a machines, and it works like a charm.

Silly Computers!

[totoymola]

Which one worked? The admin install point? Temp files?

[Sahil]

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe /f

^^ This one did

[totoymola]

Really? The silent install switch is /f? That is new to me.

Anyone yet have found the switches for unattended setup for QT 6.5.2

I installed quicktime 6.5.2 with full installer as shown win "ini" file... My install stops at about 90%, and pops up asking me my internet speed... here is my ini

I do not want to use "Quicktime alternative

After closing out the box, setup completes...

but once in windows, it continues to ask my speed each time QT is opened... very annoying

besides, how i register this? I paid $30 for this pos

QuickTimeInstaller.ini

I have just installed Quicktime 6.5.2 successfully. I used the following QuicktimeInstaller.ini file to install Quicktime silently:

;QuicktimeInstaller.ini
[QTSETUP]
license_option=0
no_dialogs=true
registration_dialog=false
supress_speed_dialog=true
install_qtjava=false
install_qd3d=true
install_quicklaunch_icons=false
install_desktop_icons=false
show_sample=false
show_readme=false
show_programfolder=false
install_qtinfo=false

[QTPREFS]
show_hotpicks=false
ConnectionSpeed="1.5 Mbps T1/Intranet/Lan"

I created the following INF file to configure Quicktime following installation:

;Quicktime 6.5.2 Configuration INF

;Please document each entry with a comment.

;This file does the following:

; 1. Disables the Quicktime System Tray Icon
; 2. Disables Quicktime Task (qttask.exe) from loading at startup.
; 3. Deletes the Quicktime folder from the Start menu
; 3. Adds a 'Quicktime Player' shortcut to the Utilities folder
; 4. Copies a pre-configured quicktime preferences file (quicktime.qtp)
;    to the 'All Users\Application Data\Quicktime' folder.

I have attached a copy of my Quicktime.qtp file. The main reason for copying the Quicktime.qtp file is to disable the reminder to purchase Quicktime Pro. You can do this by installing Quicktime, setting your computers clock forward 5-10 years and then running Quicktime until the reminder pops up, click Later on the dialog box and the close Quicktime. Set your clock back to the current date and make a copy of the quicktime.qtp file which will be in the "'All Users\Application Data\Quicktime" folder.

QuickTime.qtp

The registration info is kept in the QuickTime.qtp file! So once you've installed and registered, your reg name and key is stored in the QuickTime.qtp file

I haven't registered Quicktime so the quicktime.qtp file I uploaded doesn't contain any registration information. Useful to know this for future reference though.

ok, looks promising...

Can you explain how to use the inf file with my install?

I use RunOnceEx.cmd

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Quicktime Player 6.5.1 Pro" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\021 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\Quicktime\QT.reg" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\022 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Quicktime\QT.exe /f

REG ADD %KEY%\023 /V 3 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\Quicktime\QT.reg" /f

REG ADD %Key%\024 /V 4 /D "%SystemRoot%\system32\taskkill.exe /F /IM QuickTimePlayer.exe" /f

all are in QT Directery

I use an INF file to place the RunOnceEx information into the registry so my use of the REG command is a little rusty but the following should work:

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Quicktime Player 6.5.2" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Quicktime\QuickTime652.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 2 /D "rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 %systemdrive%\install\quicktime\QuickTimeSettings.inf" /f

This should create one RunOnceEx entry which runs the Quicktime installer and then runs the INF file to make the necessary modifications to the installation.

[warrior1109]

This is how I install with the full installer, the inf file goes in the folder with the full installer, i've made a SFX for the QuickTime.qtp, and I call it all like this;

REG ADD %KEY%\088 /VE /D "Quick Time 6.5.2 Pro" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\088 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\QT\QuickTimePrefs.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\088 /V 2 /D "%CDROM%\Software\QT\QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe" /f

This works fine for me.

Anyone knows if there is any log file that setup creates?

I've launched setup file with .ini file with File Monitor, but havent found.

We're using some kind of control on our setups, and .log file is very useful to know if a setup has completed succesfuly.

Thank you!
