gbeer carpal tunnel Registered: 17/12/2000 Posts: 2665 Loc: Manteca, California	Any one notice that the latest quicktime download is tied to an iTunes install. Can't get one without the other. Nor do you get the chance to omit iTunes during the install. _________________________ Glenn

My Mac downloaded iTunes 6 seperate from Quicktime 7.0.3. However, my PC downloaded a 32.9mb installer for both programs.

Didn't mention it, but is was on a pc. Sorry that my rant was a bit ill defined. It's just that so often I'm finding it a problem that installers are being provided in a bundled forms. Heck the last logitch mouse I bought had about 5 different items that were offered for installation with the drivers, amoung them Musicmatch. I did find the 6.something installer later, but at the time just needed QT right away. Apple's installer was one of the better I've used lately. It allowed me to choose the file associations I would allow. _________________________ Glenn

tman carpal tunnel Registered: 24/12/2001 Posts: 5528	On a PC, iTunes and QuickTime are now bundled. On a Mac however, they're still two individual downloads. Musicmatch came with your mouse? That is just getting odd!

jondle new poster Registered: 19/08/2005 Posts: 38 Loc: San Diego, CA, USA	I downloaded QT for the PC just yesterday without iTunes. There is a link on the download page called Standalone Installer. _________________________ Mark IIa -- #30103119 -- 70 gig w/ ext3 fs-- Eutronix Light Kit -- Greenlight buttons

Dignan carpal tunnel Registered: 08/03/2000 Posts: 12338 Loc: Sterling, VA	Yeah, they've had the QT/iTunes bundle for a couple months now. It's very annoying when you're trying to install QT on dozens of computers, but don't want iTunes. Fortunately, it's a simple matter of first telling the installer not to make iTunes the default media player, and then after it's finished installing, you can just remove iTunes seperately. Apparently the new official AIM client is quite nice, but comes bundled with about 5 AOL programs that you aren't even made aware of at installation (this is in addition, I've heard, to large ads that pop up in the middle of conversations). _________________________ Matt
