Can't install quicktime

When i try to open Quicktime, a window pops up that says "Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed on this computer." But the thing is that when i go to "Add or Remove Programs" QuickTime is not there. So i tried to download QuickTime and when i was trying to install it a windows poped up that said "A newer version of QuickTime is already installed on this computer." so i don't know what to do. i also can't use my iTunes because of that.

let's try this first.

Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:

Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility

Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.

1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).

2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.

3. Open Program Files.

4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.

5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.

6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.

7. Restart your computer.

next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.

switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.

go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".

if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?
