Worked through my earlier hurdles and finished my repackaging of Quicktime 6.5.2. I tested it thoroughly on a couple computers as an admin and a user and it worked fine. We started testing on a small OU with about 15 computers.
The install goes fine, however when a user logs on and tries to open either a .mov or a streaming file quicktime goes to configure itself for the first time, crashes and closes. The error message is Quick TimePlayer.exe has generated errors and will be close by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created. This does not take place if an Administrator logs on and it does not take place if a user logs on after an Administrator who has logged on and ran quicktime. So logic says there is something in group policy that is causing a problem with Quicktime the first time it is run and tries to configure itself.
Quicktime is being installed to C:\Program Files\Quicktime and is being delivered via group policy using the system account.
Also I'd love to know where this mysterious error log is written.
Steps I have taken:
Run file and regmon and it seems that Quicktime is trying to access HKCU
The group policy issue I am sensing is that when the user logs on for the first time there is either a file or registry entry that Quicktime tries to write the first time it is run and that is the only time it is run. Logic poses that Group Policy is stopping this key or file being written as Quicktime tries to write I'm guessing configuration after being started for the first time.
Has anyone else seen this or is anyone else familar with this.
By the way the version of Quicktime is 6.5.2
Thanks
