Quicktime 7.0.3 for Windows Installation Problem

Filed under: — Joe @ 3:06 am

This is for the benefit of future searchers: if you’re trying to install iTunes on Windows and it dies during the Quicktime installation with a “-3″ error, or you try to install Quicktime 7.0.3 on Windows and you get an Error 1714 or some complaint about not being able to find quicktime.msi even though it’s there, the way to fix it is to:

  1. Open regedit
  2. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT –> Installer and select Products
  3. Use the Find menu to find quicktime inside that part of the key
  4. Delete the part of the tree that you find
  5. You should now be able to install Quicktime and iTunes without incident
