Quicktime question

[Ian Wood]

You should be able to do a check for the QT version when launching  
your app, then prompt them to install if it comes up empty.

Just bear in mind that you can't legally distribute the QT installer  
without a license from Apple. It's a free license, but rather  
restricted - things like only being able to distribute the newest  
version.
