Quicktime on a Mac problem

[Candlelight]

I am helping a friend fix his mac after he accidentally deleted the Quicktime file out of the applications folder. After attempting a straight reinstall the installer fails and quicktime just doesn't install. I've attempted to track down all quicktime components in the Library, System/Library, Preferences, Caches, and a couple of other locations.

However after emptying the trash, restarting and running the installer again it says a newer version of quicktime is still installed. Any ideas?

Macbook Pro 17" non-Unibody, running 10.5.8 Leopard.

You could start by re-installing Quicktime from the 10.5 installation DVD using Pacifist.

You fixed it! Bloody genius. Thanks heaps.

That program is going straight on my tool belt.

Yeah, it is a life saver of a utility. I've used it to fix quite a few people's systems over the years.

I'm glad you were able to help your friend out.
