Putting the result into a field will not tell you (or Lingo) whether
anything is installed. You need to check the results of the return and act
on those results (besides putting it into a field). There's a ready-made
script called "Check QuickTime Version" at
http://www.mediamacros.com/search.shtml that will return a 1 if QT needs to
be installed.
You will also want to look into Lingo's 'open' command or Buddy API's
baRunProgram() command to run the QT installer.
