Downloading Quicktime

[Guest]

I'm trying to download Quicktime with Vista Home Premuim but keep getting the
message "System Administrator has set polies to prevent installation." Any
clue how to fix this?

Thanks!!

how about right clicking on the installer and selecting run as
administrator?

Are you on a network by any chance?

No network and I tried right clicking to run as administrator but no luck so
far. Any ideas are appreciated.

Try installing it as a part of iTunes?

 

[Guest]

Tried that too. Same Administrator message. This is nuts.

Sometimes you can get around installation problems by clicking on the
download, then when you get the box that says Run or Save, instead of Save,
click on Run, then Run again. If that doesn't do it for you, you likely have
problems with install/uninstall debris which must be cleaned up or perhaps
you require some elements of Vista repair. Please see the following tutorial.

scout, I personally try to avoid quicktime from apple, and I use the very
good "QUICKTIME ALTERNATIVE"
this actually uses the same exact codecs from the original quicktime, it
installs in all browsers, but does not have the bloat of the stupid player,
instead it has a lean small and fast player (called media player classic)

download it here

this will also enable you to view MOV (quicktime videos) inside Media player

Tell me if this helps!
