I had the same problem and couldn't find an answer anywhere, so I though I'd share how I got past it.

I did not have quicktime installed when I first ran the install for media manager, and as such it requested I install it from CD, which I did. It was after this was finished and returned to the main install that the install failed.

I found that quicktime did not consider itself completely installed until it was run for the first time. I booted up quicktime, allowed it to do it's first-time bits and pieces, until the default website appeared, then closed it.

I tried to install media manager again and it worked just fine.

Hope that helps.

You can try the solution below:

Open an MS-dos prompt window (Start>Run>) and type the following regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll, and press enter. A message will appear stating that these have been registered successfully.

I guess it is a network virus! Repair your os, or reinstall it if needed , and do not share anymore or buy a Total Security antivirus!

I am having a 'problem' installing iTunes v8 - the install seems to go ok until I get to the part of the program which invokes the Quicktime software upload (v7.5).
Although I don't get a 'controlled' Error message, I am advised that
"A newer version of Quicktime is installed on your computer - Quicktime needs to close" a message then appears telling me that iTunes install has failed as "iTunes needs QuickTime" - no **** sherlock!!
Try as I might I am unable to get past this problem - can anyone out there advise me ?

I have uninstalled until I am blue in the face using all teh standard solutions i.e Regedit, MSConfig, removed Temp Files in Docs & Settings etc etc. To my mind there is still part of the system that has nested a piece of Quicktime code that is screwing up the install.

This is doing my head in and I have 2 iPods that requirev v8 that I cannot use!!

hit ctrl-alt-del at the same time.
windows task manager will appear.
click on file menu and select new task (run)
type CMD and click OK
type the word explorer and hit the enter key
your desktop should appear again.
Please rate this solution as solved if you are happy with it otherwise ask again :)
Thank you
