Uninstalled Quicktime, now what?

I made a mistake and uninstalled Quicktime from my computer. Now iTunes won't work for me. Since then I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times and it still doesn't work. Every time I open it up, it gives me that lovely system popup saying that iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.

The installation disc that came with it won't let me reinstall Quicktime, as the computer thinks that it already had a newer version installed, but when I go to check on that in the Add/Remove Program App. in the Control Panel, Quicktime doesn't exist on my computer. I've even gone to the pains of removing all traces of Quicktime from my registry, and still nothing.

I just reformatted my system, and I really would hate to do it again. Any help here?

Oh, btw, I'm not sure if my nano is a first or second gen, but I'm pretty sure it's a first gen. Anyone know how to tell these things?

Can you get it here?

Then uninstall the incomplete iTunes, then install QuickTime you just downloaded, then reinstall iTunes

As QuickTime is already present on your computer, iTunes will skip over installing it and you should be ok.

Before you start, you may want to follow the instructions in this link to uninstall iTunes cleanly.

Alright... that helped, I did all that the uninstall link said for me to do... problem is that when I restarted and tried to install Quicktime, it came up with an error saying that a newer version of Quicktime has already been installed, thus getting back to the other problem I was having...

So, I can't install the Quicktime I just downloaded because my computer thinks that it's already installed with the latest version. Any idea on how to fix that?
