    k. so a few weeks ago, my quicktime broke. itunes stopped working, illustrator cs3, flash cs3, C4D, all that.

    I tried to reinstall, the installer died before it finished.

    i removed program, re-downloaded and re-installed, the installer died before it finished.

    i went into my registry and deleted every single trace of quicktime and then re-downloaded and re-installed, the installer died before it finished.

    and it's pissing me off.

    any ideas?

    1. Go to C:\Program Files, then delete the entire QuickTime folder.

    2. Click Start - Find/Search - All Files And Folders, select the hard drive ( C: ) to look in, type in QuickTime, then click Find/Search. when the list of files appear, right-click on and delete all the ones that you confirm are associated with QuickTime.

    3. Click Start - Run, type in REGEDIT, then click OK. Click the + in:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    Software
    Apple Computer, Inc

    Right Click and delete the entire directory.

    (Note: If you click the + in the "Apple Computer" entry, you'll see "QuickTime" listed there)

    4) Then run download and run CCLEANER

    5) Install and run the Microsoft Windows Installer Clean Up Utility > http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9...1bd/msicuu2.exe

    6) Select Quictime and click remove.

    7) Reinstall Quicktime.

    Like I said, I already went into the registry. I'll try the installer cleanup utility.

    Nope, all it says was it encountered a problem. No error codes, or anything.
