Re: Quicktime for Windows 98?
Sivakatirswami, Apple is very careful about the quicktime distribution. If you want to distribute quicktime with your product you have to jump through several hoops to do so. They are very restrictive. You can only distribute the most current version of QT with your product. If you reissue the product you also have to update the quicktime w/in 6 months. Also your installer must also run the quicktime installer in one installation step. they also want reports on your distribution of discs containing qt and samples of the disc for verification. they use to have the requirement that your application must only work with the newest version of quicktime, at least they have dropped that! Also they dont license qt for download, you have to send folks to the qt site for that. bottom line is its really a mess to try and fufill all these regulations and i have just stepped back to having folks need to have quicktime or download it themselves. I can see why apple has abandoned 98 for its current, supported, software. its way past its lifetime for support and I am sure they just cant afford to support all legacy systems out there with all the lastest qt festures. I wish their distribution agreement was less restrictive, but i guess it is how they ensure there are not a lot of discs being distributed now with a 5 year old version of quicktime on it (there are, but this just reduces this greatly). so any distribution by you of the older versions of qt will have to be under the table. if you search around the apple downloads you can find the qt 6.3 installer there for download. I think its the last version that ran under 98, so you could send folks there, but I would not trust that it is going to continue to be there for ever, although apple has been pretty good about keeping old stuff around for legacy systems, just sometimes not that easy to find! http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120261 cheers, jeff On Jan 9, 2006, at 1:50 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 100,000 hits logged on to just one of our web sites in December 2005 whose user agent was Windows 98 .So if we deploy a free app that requires QT... ? unique IP's? hard to say...

Quicktime for Windows 98?
I have a small app out for testing. One windows user in New Delhi, who was getting overwhelmed with viruses in XP and 2000, was told by someone there to go back to Windows 98, which he did. OK -- so movies were not playing and I sent him a small stack to test for QT and it was not installed. I told him to go to www.apple.com/ quicktime/ and lo! Quicktime player apparently is only now available for windows 2000 or XP... Or did he read that page incorrectly? I find it hard to believe that QT is no longer available for Windows 98... or is Apples web page for Windows users just confusing?

Sivakatirswami Window's 98 if it came out as late as 1999 is now 7 years old. In computer terms it is an OS that is a Dinosaur 2 times over. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Apple no longer supports it. Someone might have a mirror site out there with the older Quicktime if you are lucky. Good luck!
