Digital music forum: quicktime error

I too have tried to download Itunes 6 with Quicktime. The Quicktime that downloads with Itunes 6 is 7.0.2. I tried to download 7.0.3 (which is what Itunes 6 says is needed) but when I try it I get an error message saying that the Quicktime that I have installed (7.0.2) is newer than the one that I am trying to install (7.0.3). This makes absolutely no sense to me and I can't seem to uninstall Quicktime through the usual methods. I'm stuck too!

Have tried to install the latest QT, 7.0.3 and it won't install. It says that the QT currently installed is newer (7.0.2 that came with Itunes 6).

from the poster who had success?

I went into Quicktime: Windows troubleshooting tips, link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60765

I didn't follow all of the tips but these are the ones that I did do:
1) Downloaded the most recent version of DirectX which, if you go to the link above, is offered as a free download.
2) Downloaded the stand-alone 7.0.3 version of the Quicktime Installer (the one offered in this link is different than other 7.0.3 versions I found)

Before I did the above steps, I uninstalled Itunes. Then I downloaded the above Quicktime. Then I reinstalled Itunes 6 and it worked!
P.S. I didn't do anything in Safe Mode as suggested.

Good luck! I hope it works for you too!

on Jan-14-2006 that Quicktime link is for version 7.0.4.80 and the Active X is for version 9.0c

I did get two errors during the Quicktime install
QTUIPanelControl.dll and QuickTimeCheck.ocx failed to Unregister - but the install was still successful.

Thanks for the post I have tried this many times since September with no luck.
