Quicktime for Win7.
I am working on a Win7 computer which needs Quicktime installed.
This computer is NOT connected to the Internet, and will not be in the near future.
So I am online on a WinXP computer and went to the Apple/Quicktime site. The page says that it's for "QuickTime 7.7.1 for Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7"
When I click DOWNLOAD NOW, it says that it's getting the WinXP version (which makes sense seeing as I'm on an XP computer, annoying though that it's "detecting" it automatically :mad: )
I didn't think about it (yesterday) when I was getting the file* but this probably explains why the QuicktimeInstaller.exe file doesn't work on the Win7 computer. I click the file and nothing happens but soon enough a pop-up asks me if I want to run the file in "compatibility" mode ... so I tried everything XP-up, to no avail, I click the file and "nothing" happens, it just pops again with the compatibility window.
SO, where the @#$% do I get the Win7 specific Quicktime install file?????????? while using a WinXP computer.
* I probably thought that the description of the file meant that it was one file which worked on all of the listed platforms ... apparently not so :-(

I'll get it nonetheless, just to see if it is different in any way/shape/form.
The filehippo file actually worked the first time around, hassle-free.
Which is funny as it's the same version number + file size, etc as the one I got from the official fruitcompany.
Thanks!
