I really messed this whole thing up...I'm trying to run Avid Free DV and it requires an old version of Quick Time so I got the old version and tried to uninstall the version I had but it said that the current QT was on a network that wasn't available to me and it wouldn't let me uninstall it so I got rid of the whole folder (which really messed things up) so now I'm screwed, blued and tatooed (excuse my french) PLEASE SAVE ME!!!
Windows XP

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?
