If you're running Cygwin on your Windows computer and try to install QuickTime 7 or iTunes 5 (which installs QuickTime), the installer may not work properly, which will prevent installation. (Cygwin is software that provides a Linux-type environment for Windows.)
Download and install QuickTime 7.0.4 or later or iTunes 6 or later to resolve this.
