Learning and Teaching in Post-Secondary Education

mood: geeky

I had tried to view a QuickTime video on the Bunshin project while connected to my main (XP) PC via Remote Desktop from my Vista machine when it showed a Q with a question mark in it when viewed my browser. So I copied the link to my local Vista machine and downloaded the file but it wouldn't view it, because Quicktime isn't installed. 

I went to the Apple site to download Quicktime and tried to install Quicktime. There were two options: one with iTunes and one without. Neither worked. Luckily Apple has a link that you can visit to give feedback about your experience with Quicktime on Vista, so I filled it out with my error messages. Perhaps this will help others to get QT on their VISTA machine quickly.

Installing Quicktime With iTunes the error message given is:
iTunes could not be installed because Visual Basic Script (VBScript) is not installed or has been disabled. Make sure VBScript is installed, turn off script blocking in Anti-virus and personal firewall software, re-register VBScript, and then install iTunes.
- I did not try doing that yet but I will.

With just QT the error was:
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2738.
