How do I install QuickTime from the CD in Windows?

<< Previous | Top ^ | Next >>

If you neglected to install QuickTime during COMM1 setup, you may install QuickTime from the CD . There are different versions that come with Comm1. Comm1 VFR (Versions 1.0-1.2) has Quicktime version 2.1.2, Comm1 VFR (Version 2.0) has Quicktime Version 7.1, IFR has version 3.0, and Clearances on Request comes with 4.0. You may see more than one version of QuickTime on your system at the same time. That's OK! Do not delete other versions! These different versions are required by other applications. Removing these other QT versions may cause the programs not to run.
