Software Deployment

EDIT: 20/01/11, sorry, had the wrong branch listed.

Version: 7.69.80.9 (being installed)

Issue:
Will not install due to a lunch condition not being meet, even though the older version of Quicktime has been uninstalled.

Error message:
“A newer version of QuickTime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of QuickTime is installed” caused by a launch condition called “NOT BNEWERPRODUCTISINSTALLED”.

For version 7.69.80.9, this fix/workaround will allow the above version to be installed, and may work on other versions.

Fix/workaround:
Remove the keys and values that are assocated with Quicktime in this registry branch "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\"

For example, in my case below.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\979257759C1A20C458B6BF2BA74C0EC2]
"Clients"=hex(7):3a,00,00,00,00,00
"ProductName"="QuickTime"
"PackageCode"="FAB01CE946395714494414CCFBD0115E"
"Language"=dword:00000409
"Version"=dword:07450050
"Assignment"=dword:00000001
"AdvertiseFlags"=dword:00000180
"ProductIcon"="C:\\Windows\\Installer\\{57752979-A1C9-4C02-856B-FBB27AC4E02C}\\Installer.ico"
"InstanceType"=dword:00000000
"AuthorizedLUAApp"=dword:00000000
"DeploymentFlags"=dword:00000001

Notes: hoping this will help other people having issues deploying QT with the above issue (: Before you roll it out site wide, test test test and make sure it uninstalls too!
