I'm not sure if this helps, but did you try with the complete  
(absolute) pathname
to the installer?

And you could also try this syntax:

...
open process "QuickTimeinstaller.exe" for neither
...

Also with the complete pathname.
Another thought: Provide the "shortfilepath()" to "shell..."

At least worth a try I think :-)
