QuickTime (QT) was probably originally installed from a source which is no longer available. To fool Windows Installer into believing you have a QT-free machine, you need to obliterate the information it uses to determine the installed state.
Obtain and run MSIZap. It's part of the MSI SDK which is overkill for one utility but it may be available elsewhere as a stand-alone download. You need to pass QT's Product Code to MSIZap. You can obtain that from the registry by browsing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall: the GUIDs listed there are the Product Codes. You can tell which belongs to QT because, as you highlight each GUID, the right-hand pane of RegEdit will include an entry 'DisplayName'.

Let's go WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY out on a limb here...do you think maybe your MSI is set to target 64bit Windows?
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
