Apple Quicktime v7.1.3.x

Recommended Posts

For those who don't know how to install Quicktime v7.1.3.x silently here's how:

  1. Unpack QuicktimeInstaller.exe using an application like 7-Zip or Universal Extractor.
  2. You will see that three (3) files have been extracted. The only one of interest to us is Quicktime.msi. You can DELETE the others as they're not required.
  3. As this is an .msi, we can simply use Microsoft's msi switches (refer code box below). I use '/passive /qb /norestart'

  4. There are also two properties you can change DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS and QTPROGRAMMENUFOLDERNAME. They are self explanatory but in case you're still bewildered here's what they do and their options:
    DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS - Determines whether a desktop shortcut will be installed or not - FALSE/TRUE
    QTPROGRAMMENUFOLDERNAME - Determines where the Quicktime menu shortcuts will be placed under the START menu - Whilst I haven't done this, I don't believe you need to place the location surrounded by quotes
  5. So here's how the final installation line looks on my UAE disk:
    REG ADD %KEY%38 /V 1 /D "\"%CDROM%\Applications\Apple Quicktime Professional v7.1.3.100\QuickTime.msi\" /norestart /passive /qb DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS=FALSE QTPROGRAMMENUFOLDERNAME=Multimedia\Quicktime" /f
