I get this error message every time I try to install quicktime: "ul_catalog.98cb24ad_52fb_db5f_ff1f_c8b3b9a1e18e not found in cabinet file quicktime.cab. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the cd-rom, or a problem with this package." I downloaded the installer from apple, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I use an ASUS laptop.

Just save this as a .bat (or.cmd) file, and call it from your (Computer Configuration) GPO. Although note that I've not tested it from a GPO, only as a double-click and as a Task Sequence step in SCCM. Of course the QuickTimeInstaller.exe needs to be present in the \\server\share\applications\quicktime path!

Just solved the problem for me: The latest version of QT is not compatible with Win8. So I was told by one of my company technicians to use the win7-modus in win8 to install the exe-file. Installation with no problems. :-)

This only happens when I try to hide the UI for me. Elsewhere on the internet I've found that people get this problem when trying to use the compressed MSI file inside the EXE in a batch file (in order to distribute via GPO). The problem occurs for them when they order QuickTime.msi before the AppleApplicationSupport.msi. I tried passing \qn to the EXE and it does pass this onto the MSI but unfortunately the EXE too makes this mistake and initially runs QuickTime.msi, so I get the same failure. The 'normal'/UI case works for me. In my case I think I'll just show the users the UI but it's a shame I can't do it this way without running a batch.

For anyone who needs this: If you have iTunes and apple update installed on your computer before you install Quicktime, it will bomb. So you need to uninstall everything apple related. Not just QuickTime. When you install QuickTime, under the options, choose custom, because you also have to disable auto update. For a neat way of installing just what you need. Once you download the installer, right click on it and extract to a folder. Only use the QickTime.msi. For full details have a look at this video (with subtitles it is easy to follow) =PThPqI_KZLo&ab_channel=Y%C4%B1lmazBerk

US-CERT cited an April 14 blog post by Christopher Budd at Trend Micro, which runs a program called Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) that buys security vulnerabilities and helps researchers coordinate fixing the bugs with software vendors. Budd urged Windows users to junk Quicktime, citing two new, unpatched vulnerabilities that ZDI detailed which could be used to remotely compromise Windows computers.

While the recommendations from US-CERT and others apparently came as a surprise to many, Apple has been distancing itself from QuickTime on Windows for some time now. In 2013, the Cupertino, Calif. tech giant deprecated all developer APIs for Quicktime on Windows.

QuickTime 7.7.9 improves security and is recommended for all QuickTime 7 users on Windows. The QuickTime web browser plug-in is no longer installed by default and is removed if you have a previous version of QuickTime on your PC. If you still need this legacy plug-in, you can add it back using the custom setup option in the installer.

Important Notice to QuickTime 6 Pro Users
Installing QuickTime 7 or later will disable the QuickTime Pro functionality in prior versions of QuickTime, such as QuickTime 6. If you are a QuickTime 6 Pro user, see this article: before proceeding with this installation.

Too bad alot of DVRs require QuickTime to view live or recorded data via their web interface and most of the customers we have are too stupid to know to only use Internet Explorer for a single function.

I was working on my daughters machine over the weekend backing up her iPhone, iTunes wanted an update and the Apple Update Utility was still offering QuickTime on Windows as an installation option. Apple should really remove it from the update utility.

The term deprecated may also be used when a non-computer technical term becomes obsolete, either through change or superseding. Before being re-recognized as a unique genus, an example in paleontology was the (no longer) deprecated term Brontosaurus, the formerly popular name for the genus Apatosaurus. Examples from medicine include consumption (tuberculosis), grippe (influenza), and apoplexy (stroke).

One approach (really rough) is to search the CVE database directly [2]. Entries should point to the vendor report, give you the ability to figure out which versions were affected / fixed (and in what release), and a technical explanation of the flaw.

I am confused about this topic. I have all itunes loaded on my windows PC. Will my itunes still play if I remove quicktime? Or do I need to replace it with another program. Lastly, I converted all MPEG itunes files to ACC, advanced audio coding, will I need to convert back to MPEG files?

As other commenters have said, iTunes no longer depends on QuickTime in any way; also, there are plenty of other media players that support AAC, like iTunes, Windows Media Player, and security-conscious favorite VLC.

The bottom line with this is that it all becomes useless software that ends up creating problems. These machines are so much more powerful than that. Take control of your stuff or your stuff will take control of you.

My first experience with Apple Quicktime was at a military organization. They wanted it pushed to all computer systems (minus servers) so that they could utilize a feature where it would show a part of the movie in a link inserted into a website. I was like Really? Ever hear of a JPG photo made from a screen capture?

That year, there are about 6-7 updates. Ever since that debacle, if I see it on an image, I am quick to point out all my experiences with software of any type that is pretty much useless on a windows box.

Has the heap overflow issue with .MOV files, specifically the moov and index atoms, been tested with other players, editors, and frameworks? In other words, could an attacker use FFmpeg, Sorenson Squeeze, Telestream or another to create a malicious .MOV file that can leverage these vulnerabilities when played back in Windows Media Player, VLC, MPC-HC, GOM, Adobe, Avid, and every other piece of multimedia software out there?
