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.

Cheers,
Todd

Subject: <lingo-l> Re: How can I install a minimum QT Player without
going through registration and download?

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.

Sincerely,

Al
