Rather than uninstall Apple quick time off my Computer could anybody tell me if the following relys on the apple quick time being install on the end users PC.

Using Opus 4 Pro XE i have inserted a Apple quicktime VR it work lovley well done DWS then i compile to a EXE.

Q./ Does the end user still have to have the Apple plug in install to few the Apple VR i and compiled into the EXE?

Cheers guys

Hi,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Yes - the Opus publication uses the QuickTime engine to display QuickTime VR objects, MOV video files and SWF files imported via the video object. If QuickTime is not installed on the end-user's system, these objects will appear blank when the publication is run.

I believe that the standalone installer for QuickTime is freely-distributable (although you may wish to double-check the licensing agreement on the QuickTime web site), so you could include this installer on your publication CD and perhaps add a configuration page containing a link to install QuickTime if a sample MOV file appears blank.

I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further queries.

Kind regards,
