Sahil Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 When I try to install QuickTime 6 using the following in .cmd file:ECHO.ECHO Installing Quick TimeECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe /qnand QuickTimeInstaller.ini with:[QTSETUP] license_option=0 no_dialogs=true registration_dialog=false supress_speed_dialog=true install_qtjava=false install_qd3d=true show_sample=false show_readme=false show_programfolder=false install_qtinfo=truein the same directory as QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe, I see this:but nothing after that.Quicktime doesn't get installed. Just to save some trouble, I can't use Quick Time Alternative because of work regulations. What am I missing?Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Had dramas with Quicktime full.exe myself. I don't think it'll work with those switches though?I went to the Alt but still have some dramas there UAing with Autoit @ the moment not quite there though close!

prathapml Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 why not try once again with no_dialogs=false instead (in the .ini)Atleast then it will show up the error box if any.If that doesn't work, make an admin-install point using "/A" switch on the installer. Then install from the MSI in the resulting folder with "/QN". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 It worked fine for me using your ini.@prathapml - If that doesn't work, make an admin-install point using "/A" switch on the installer. Then install from the MSI in the resulting folder with "/QN".Couldn't get this to work. do you have more details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Well, admin-install point you already know. (the same as what you do for OfficeXP/2003)And just do the same on this one. For example, QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe /A--OR--QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe /A C:\QT-AIPThat will make the AIP.If that doesn't work, try msiexec /A QuickTimeFullInstaller.exeIf that doesn't work either, then try extracting QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe with winzip/winrar (because it might be a compressed file you are using) and run the same switches on the setup EXE or MSI found within.The advantage to the AIP method, is that only the required files are copied to specified folder. After that you can go in and delete files that were only required for win9x, and make a RAR SFX which is much smaller than the installer you originally started out with.Do post back on how it goes.

IcemanND Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 None of the above worked. Are you doing this with the original Apple installer? I'd really like it to so I can slim down the installer myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Hmm....Its supposed to work. Are you sure nothing ELSE is coming in the way?I'm making the AIP on a clean XPSP2 and its fine. Saved 4 MB in the process.Dunno how it would react on my dev machine though.... with all the truck-loads of what I have installed there. (I mean, the AIP will install fine, but I'm not sure whether I'll be able to CREATE it there)One thing I've noticed to be useful, is *NOT* having the app installed when making an AIP of its installer.

IcemanND Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Grrrrr! Still can't get it to work, tried it on an unmodified clean install without quicktime installed and all it does is a normal install no matter which of your three suggestions I try.I guess I'm stuck with the full installer.

Incroyable HULK Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Here is my working method with the free player:RunOnceEx.exeREG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Apple Quick Time 6.5.1" /fREG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Applications\QuickTime\QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe" /fQuickTimeInstaller.ini (in the same folder as the .exe)[QTSETUP] license_option=0 no_dialogs=true registration_dialog=false supress_speed_dialog=true install_qtjava=false install_qd3d=trueinstall_quicklaunch_icons=falseinstall_desktop_icons=false show_sample=false show_readme=false show_programfolder=false install_qtinfo=false[QTPREFS]show_hotpicks=falseConnectionSpeed="1.5 Mbps T1/Intranet/Lan"CSMultipleStreams=0Sometimes I get a warning Message during the installation telling me that QTPlugins as generated an error and I have to click on OK. But this is not halting the installation process and it only occurs when you don't have the Video or Sound driver installed prior to QuickTime...

IcemanND Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 That's what I'm using except v6.5.2, and I didn't set the qtprefs. I was hoping to trim down the installer by making an Administrative install point if possible but it dowsn't seem to be working. Maybe it has to be the full version.

durex Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Suggestion: Axe QuickTime all together and simply use Classic Media player with the quicktime addins.... (Sorry I just cant stand the program) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpyr Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Here is what maybe a dumb question so i apololgize in advance. What happens when you install it in windows using the ini file. Does it install fine or not?..I myself tried using your ini but with the full download. It worked fine for me. It's identical to the ini I normaly use to do a one touch setup with another progam. I also use it in my unattended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaumar Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I had the same problem and eventually just installed it like Hulk (i.e. full installer with NO switches but WITH an ini file). It installed fine. Dunno why the /qb or /qn switches caused install to fail but with no switches and an ini file I get a progress bar and a successful install.
