Do I need to leave it open, or is it ok to close it during the installation? Second question, how long does it take!?!?! I have dial-up, but all other updates and praograms that I have downloaded were faster than this. I can only get it to download so much before my internet connection times out. Help!

It wont let me upgrade through Itunes and it wont un-install ? Im running Itunes on a Vista 64 Home Premium edition. Very very frustrating Maybe the main tip will help but im climbing the walls already.

So i googled and came here :). Followed the procedure and downloaded Itunes again ( thought i had it ) and to my surprise it started dl-ing the 64 bit version. I use Firefox 3.0.1 Just though i let you all know. Well i had the same issue as all those others.

Amazing work on this. I have a question relating to QuickTime running on my Vista 64 bit machine. I haven't been able to update my version of Quicktime since version 7.1.6 - every time I install a new version and try to launch it - I get an error saying that it's only compatible with Windows version 2000 and later. I unchecked the run with Compatible in the Quicktime.exe - but that didn't work. The only thing that has worked is running the symbolic link you mentioned in your article. My problem is basically that I can now launch QuickTime through the symbolic link, but most of my programs are trying to launch it through the normal (x86) location - therefore I get an error. Example: I use Maya constantly - and if I try to do a playblast, I get the error. If I have Quicktime open already (from the symbolic link) - it will work, but that's the only way it seems to do so. Is there a way to make my default programs look for the Quicktime through the symbolic link Program Files directory? I would LOVE any suggestion you have. Thank you so much! - Teri Hey Nick!
