Quicktime installation problem on Windows 10 64bit : failed to find ul_catalog.98CB24AD_52FB_DB5F_FF1F_C8B3B9A1E18E

Just as an FYI I had failed to install Quicktime on Windows 10 64bit. Had a very cryptic message about how it was missing ul_catalog.98CB24AD_52FB_DB5F_FF1F_C8B3B9A1E18E from the cab file. Running the installer with verbose logging revealed the following:

MSI (s) (D0:04) [14:49:17:118]: Executing op: AssemblyCopy(SourceName=g2rg91xw.1p4|x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.6195_x-ww_44262b86.cat,SourceCabKey=ul_catalog.98CB24AD_52FB_DB5F_FF1F_C8B3B9A1E18E,DestName=x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.6195_x-ww_44262b86.cat,Attributes=0,FileSize=7318,PerTick=65536,,VerifyMedia=1,ElevateFlags=4,,,,ComponentId={98CB24AD-52FB-DB5F-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E},,,,AssemblyMode=0,)

The file 'ul_catalog.98CB24AD_52FB_DB5F_FF1F_C8B3B9A1E18E' cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file 'QuickTime.cab'. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.

The missing file is actually Microsoft VC80 CRT version 8.0.50727.6195

This file is missing from the installer and so you need to install it externally. Also note I suspect it actually needs the 32bit version.

The Visual C 80 CRT can be downloaded from Microsoft here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/confirmation.aspx?id=26347

Note that I had to install both the 64bit version (which did not work) AND the 32bit version (which then did work).

Info on the update is available here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2538242/ms11-025-description-of-the-security-update-for-visual-c-2005-sp1-redi

It would be pleasent is somebody at Apple could update the Quicktime installer. Users with brand new Windows 10 64 bit systems will likely come across this error if they install Quicktime first. Older systems will likely have the redist installed, as part of other packages, and unaffected.
