You can verify this, by looking in C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime, and you'll see there's no executable you can run. You'll then see a little red cross beside "QuickTime Player", and the only component being installed is the compulsory "QuickTime Essentials".Ĭomplete the installation, and you have only installed the "Essentials", the engine you wanted. Click the little drop-down arrow and choose "Entire Feature will be Unavailable". But the "player" application is still installed by default. That's because no major browsers support these anymore. Step 4: The browser plugins are de-selected for you, and marked as "unsupported". Then choose "Custom", not "Typical" - you want to choose which parts to install Step 3: Click next, and accept the license agreement. Step 1: Go to the download page on their website and download QuickTime player 7.7.9 (or later). Well, Apple now know that people need just the engine, so they've made this option available. There was no mention of QuickTime in the installation process, and when you try to run UltraKey it tells you to install QuickTime, then shuts down.
At least, the version I installed didn't. Then re-install (or install) UltraKey, and its installer will automatically install the engine. All you have to do is uninstall QuickTime (if it was installed) - otherwise, the UltraKey installer will assume you want QuickTime installed, and won't overwrite it. Because the exploit involves tricking you into playing a doctored video in the application or the plugin, it is safe to have just the engine installed. These install the QuickTime engine, but not the application or the browser plugins. It simply says that they've released new installers for their programs. They issued a statement when QuickTime was no longer supported. OK, maybe not many programs: The one I'm aware of is UltraKey, a touch-typing program. However, some other applications need you to have the QuickTime player installed, and will check that it's there. The answer is simple: Install another player. Both the player and the browser plugins were found to have security flaws which meant a malicious website could trick you to playing a doctored file in the player / plugin, which would then allow those vulnerabilities to be exploited. Apple no longer supports its QuickTime player.
