NOTE: This is tested on Windows 7
Here is my recipe for installing QuickTime Player 7.71:
Download the installer from Apple: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Save the file to your computer
Extract the QuickTimeInstaller.exe to a folder
Open up the folder and find the contents of the .exe
Contents are as follows:
1) AppleApplicationSupport.msi
2) AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
3) QuickTime.msi
4) QuickTimeInstallerAdmin.exe
DELETE: #2 & #4 and that will leave you with only:
* AppleApplicationSupport.msi
* QuickTime.msi
Open Notepad:
copy and paste the following between begin/end copy:
----begin copy----
msiexec /i AppleApplicationSupport.msi /qn
msiexec /i QuickTime.msi
del "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\QuickTime Player.lnk"
----end copy----
Save the file as QuickTime_Installer.bat in the same folder as the extracted .exe
Now then, when you want to install QuickTime, just right click on the QuickTime_Installer.bat and Run as Administrator
You also have to add the switch /qn to "msiexec /i QuickTime.msc" to make it completely silent. I think you just forgot it.
I took this and zipped all the files to quicktime.zip. I then uploaded/associated the quicktime.zip to the correct version of QuickTime. You can setup up a managed install to run QuickTime_installer.bat (configured manually). It installs silently at a push of a button. Hope this helps. - JSenesap 11 years ago
1. Click new transform from Transform menu
2. Component > QuickTimePlayerDesktopShortcuts change condition to DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS="0" tells the installer to not install desktop icon.
3. Generate transform e.g. qt.mst
4. When it comes to installing the quicktime.msi msiexec /i Quicktime.msi transform=qt.msi /qn - colaguy44 8 years ago
