This is a silent installer for QuicktimeQuickTime. For  = QuickTime 7.7.6 (7.76) = Current iTunes releases don't seem to install correctly from the; fortunately, unpacking it to get MSIs a minimal installation 'la [[iTunes]] is simple. QuickTime requires Apple Application Support. As of Quicktime have 7.7.6 it ships 2.3.6, but iTunes 12.0.1 ships 3.1. If you're going to install both, they should depend on a look at the history separate package instead of both trying to install & remove it; therefore, '''this definition requires a separate Apple Application Support package. You should generally use the one provided in the [[ITunes#QuicktimeFull_ITunes_installation_11|ITunesiTunes]] page article,''' but if you're not deploying iTunes, a package for 2.3.6 is also included here for your convenience. To use this definition, download [http://support.apple.com/kb/DL837 QuickTime] and place it into <code>%SOFTWARE%\Apple\QuickTime-7.7.6</code>. '''In that directory''', run <code>QuickTimeInstaller.exe /extract</code> (August 2011or unpack it with an appropriate file archiver). Since ITunes doesnYou'll end up with three MSIs and one EXE. If you also distribute iTunes, then you only care about <code>QuickTime.msi</code>; if you don't require Quicktime anymoredistribute iTunes, you also need <code>AppleApplicationSupport.msi</code>. To avoid the tedious process of looking up new ClassIDs / GUIDs each time you deploy a new QuickTime, this package is written to remove by referencing the original MSI. This means it 's a good idea to keep the old MSIs around. To deploy a new QuickTime release, start by updating <code>%PKG_VERSION%</code>, then create a new directory <code>%SOFTWARE\Apple\QuickTime-%PKG_VERSION%</code> and extract the new installer there. Right-click each MSI and check the Details tab to find the internal version, then update <code>%QT_INTERNAL_VER%</code> and your Apple Application Support package, as appropriate. <source lang="xml"><package id="apple_quicktime" name="QuickTime" revision="%PKG_VERSION%-%QT_INTERNAL_VER%" reboot="false" priority="0">  <depends package-id="appleapplicationsupport" />  <!-- QuickTime has two version numbers one for the end-user and the other an internal version.
