You can modify the installation process by adding a file: QuickTimeInstaller.ini in the same directory as the QuickTimeInstaller.exe.
Here is a sample of what I use sometimes: [QTSETUP] LICENSE_OPTION=0 REGISTRATION_DIALOG=FALSE SHOW_SAMPLE=FALSE SHOW_README=FALSE SHOW_PROGRAMFOLDER=FALSE When you received your QT License agreement there should have been instructions on how to do this for both PC & Mac for Developers. Not sure if there is an option though for turning off the update check. I'll leave that up to you to investigate.

Hi, Here's the deal: client wants a cross-platformed CD-ROM. We used Quicktime for the video and some animation in the production. We check for QT presence at start-up on the PC side. If it's not there, we go to the QT5 Installer that we placed on the CD-ROM. The installer asks for registration information and wants to go to the web to look for newer installers. There is a newer installer right now, so it downloads the newer installer, closes down the old installer, restarts the new installer and then downloads the new player. That's a huge commitment from the user to getting Quicktime to run. Problem: The Client wants minimal interference from the installer. No registration, no checking for new versions, etc. He barely wants to install Quicktime but we've explained that we need a player to show the videos. My Question: How can I minimize this? I'm just playing back flat videos. No VR or extensions or any other QT specialty stuff. Is there a QT Movie Player contained somewhere in Windows Media Player? Is there a basic installer for the Movie Player only that I can get ahold of? It needs to display on Win95/98/NT/2000 and it definitely can't try to do a download. And, perhaps the bigger question, what are my other options for cross-platformed videos? I don't know much about MPEG. Would it work on both platforms without external installations? What about common codecs? We're using Cinepak for the QT because it's on both OS's. Thanks in advance for your help. All of the information I get from the list is always very valuable.
