When switching to a new operating system, there’s always a concern about whether your favorite apps will work on your new operating system.

According to reports, QuickTime no longer works after the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, so let’s see if there is a way to fix this issue.

What to do if QuickTime doesn’t work in Windows 10?

Users report that they can’t install QuickTime on Windows 10 to open QTL files, but there are a few workarounds that will allow you to install QuickTime even if you’re using Windows 10.

Before we start, you’ll need to download QuickTime for Windows as well as WinRAR or 7Zip. Remember the location where you’ve saved the QuickTime installation because you’ll need to visit that folder a couple of times to complete this process.

For simplicity, it’s best to save the installation in the C:\QT folder.

Repair the QuickTime installation

1. Right-click the QuickTime installation and select the Extract Here option.
2. Download the TRANSFORM file.
3. Extract the content from FIX.zip to the C:\QT folder.
4. Run and install AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi and AppleApplicationSupport.msi.
5. Right-click QuickTime.msi file and choose Troubleshoot compatibility.
6. Wait for the wizard to complete the scan.
7. You should get a notification saying that Skip Version Check workaround has been applied.
8. Now click Test the program and run the installation.

If for some reason this solution didn’t work for you, you might want to try these steps as well:

1. Run Command Prompt as administrator. You can open it by typing CMD into Search bar, right clicking Command
2. Prompt from the list of results and choosing Run as administrator.
3. Navigate using Command Prompt to the folder where you’ve extracted QuickTime installation files. You can do so by typing CD C:\QT in Command Prompt.
   Enter the following command into Command Prompt and press Enter:
   • msiexec /i QuickTime.msi /qn TRANSFORMS=FIX.mst ALLUSERS=1 /log C:\QT\install.log
4. Wait for the installation to complete.
5. QuickTime should be installed now, but if QuickTime isn’t working, you can check the install.log file in the C:\QT folder to see what errors you encountered.

That would be all. I hope this solution helps you solve the problem with QuickTime in Windows 10. Elsewhere, if a qtcf.dll file is missing, we know how to get it back. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, see the comment section below.

QuickTime is a multimedia player developed by Apple. You can use it to view photos, play videos, and run other similar tasks.

Obviously, the tool was developed for macOS. But there are still many Windows 10 users who are running QuickTime on their devices.

Note: Apple no longer supports QuickTime 7 for Windows. As a matter of fact, Windows 10 users don’t actually need the tool. The latest Windows versions now support all the media formats and codecs that QuickTime enabled, including H.264 and AAC.

If, for some reason, you really need QuickTime on your device, but you can’t install it, here are some troubleshooting suggestions that may help you out.

Fix QuickTime Installation Issues on Windows 10

Download QuickTime from Apple

If you did not download QuickTime directly from Apple, please do that now. Downloading the tool from third-party websites may bring along unwanted files that might break the installation process.

Disable Background Programs

Since we’re talking about a non-Microsoft program, do close all the programs running in the background before downloading and installing QuickTime.

You can launch the Task Manager and click on the Processes tab. Then, close all the active programs by selecting End task.

That’s about it.

QuickTime is an extensible multimedia framework developed by Apple Inc., capable of handling various formats of digital video, picture, sound, panoramic images, and interactivity on Windows and Mac OS X. QuickTime lets you view Internet video, HD movie trailers, and personal media in a wide range of file formats. However, when trying to install the latest Quicktime v7.7.8 in the latest Windows 10, users are alerted “Quicktime 7 requires that your computer is running Windows Vista or Windows 7”.

The true fact is that QuickTime 7 is not compatible with Windows 10/11. It can affects lots of people’s experience with Windows 10/11 if QuickTime cannot be installed in Windows 10. Some online video sties require QuickTime installed for playing movies in internet browser; some free editing or player applications rely on the QuickTime framework, such as Adobe After Effects, Adobe Audition, Adobe Premiere Elements, GoPro Studio.

Though QuickTime 7 is incompatible with Windows 10/11, there are workarounds of installing QuickTime in Windows 10/11.

• Solution 1 – Install the older version of QuickTime v7.7.6
• Solution 2 – Install the latest QuickTime v7.7.8 by tricks

Solution 1 – Install the older version of QuickTime, v7.7.6

If you are using Windows 10 and see an alert message saying that it’s impossible to install QuickTime on your system, please try QuickTime 7.7.6 instead.

Solution 2 – Install the latest QuickTime v7.7.8 by tricks

1. 1. Create a new folder like C:\QT or something similarly easy. All the content in this folder can deleted after QuickTime v7.7.8 is finished installation.
   2. Download the latest QuickTime 7.7.9 from the official QuickTime for Windows page. And save it to C:\QT.
   3. Extract QuickTimeInstaller.exe.
      Right-click on the file QuickTimeInstaller.exe and choose “Extract here”. If you cannot see options of extraction, download and install WinRAR or 7Zip, then try to extract.
   4. You should now have a folder that looks something like this, under C:\QT or whichever folder you chose.

1. 1. install the easy prerequisites:
      1. Double-click the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi file and click “OK”, “I accept” etc. until the install finishes.
      2. Do the same with AppleApplicationSupport.msi.
      3. Ignore the file called QuickTimeInstallerAdmin.exe as we won’t be needing it!
   2. Right-click the QuickTime.msi file:
      1. 1. Select “Troubleshoot compatibility”.
      1. 1. Wait for the wizard to scan the QuickTime.msi file for possible culprits (which we already know to be the Windows version check).
      1. It should say that it has applied a “Skip Version Check” workaround to enable the QuickTime.msi installer to run.
      2. Click “Test the program” and run the installation. Then click “Next” and complete the installation.
      3. If it worked without error, you’re now done! If not, or if all else fails, continue to refer to point 7 to point 11.
   3. Download this TRANSFORM file and extract it to C:\QT. We will use this file to temporarily remove the OS checks preventing the installation. (A “transform” file or “.mst” is just a simple file that adds or removes things from an MSI-based installation (like QuickTime.msi).
   4. Click the Windows icon or Search icon and search CMD. Right-click the Command Prompt shortcut/icon and choose Run as administrator.

1. Type the following command and hit ENTER:
   msiexec /i QuickTime.msi /qn TRANSFORMS=FIX.mst ALLUSERS=1 /log C:\QT\install.log
2. Installation shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes…
3. NOTE: A log file called install.log will be created in the C:\QT folder, which should end with something along the lines of “Return code 0”. If not, and QuickTime wasn’t installed, you may look in this file for any possible error codes (opens fine in Notepad or WordPad). You will need to install the older version QuickTime v7.7.6.
