Software Deployment

Use Active Setup to copy the user specific AppData files into each new users profile when they log in.

If you're not sure about ActiveSetup, then perform a search for it on this forum and you'll find a wealth of information.

Michael,

I am actually running the Active Setup to copy the QTP, XML files with no isseus but still the autoUpdate box stays checked. I've also verified & manually copied the files in the APPDATA directory but no success yet....

The file that contains the option to disable the automatic updates is "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime\QuickTime.qtp"

Are you sure that ActiveSetup working correctly and copying the file into the correct user folder ?

Michael,

My QuickTime.qtp file in about 9kb after all the configuration and yes its located under "C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime" still no success

Is there a way of "completely suppressing the Automatic Update option" I want it to gred out? Any advise guys

Hi,
I am doing a silent installation for Quick Time 7.6.2. Things are working fine for XP ( both for Admin and User) , however for Vista it is not working for for any subsequent user who logs on to machine after installation.I have made the following modifcations in the package.
1. created a mst for silent deployment. Removed all shortcuts. Tray icons etc.
2. Selected appropriate options in QTP , XML and via Active setup, I am getting QuickTime.qtp, QTPLayer.xml to required folders( different for XP and Vista)
Now when I tested the package on XP machine, its working fine for both Admin and any user who logs onto the machine. ( for both Quick time player and PictureViewer)
But for VISTA, the Quick Time plyaer is working fine, but the PictureViwer is not. When I launch the PictureViewer, it asks to 'Modify file associatio- with options for YES and NO' . If I select YES with 'do not ask again option', it works but the thing is it does this for every user who logs in to the machine. I also tried to cretae to login as a new admin user to see if works , but it gives the same prompt. I check that the QTP and XML files are copied to correct location, and its working for Quick Time player. But it seems that the picture viewer is not reading those options.
And just to remind, its working for XP. This issue I am facing only for VISTA.

Please advice..!!

I have the same problem but on windows 7:

Take the gap capture, may be it will because of some run time HKCU reg key. add it in your apps.
