Quicktime from version 4.0 crashes when installing it on Windows 95, 98 and ME?

Post by Jonathan McEvoy »

Whenever I install Quicktime 4.0 to 6.0 it installed and it crashes saying "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor." there must be a bug on PCem where I try to install on Windows 9x platforms but it installs OK when using XP and is there a way to solve and fix it?

I never understood that either. The best scenario you or I can do is use the QT that comes with the game. Many childhood educational games such as Zoombini's or early 3D adventure games usually comes with some weird version of Quick Time and it's best to just use that and let the install detect it. I've never had trouble with that.

It happens for me too. Qt 4 on windows 98 SE.

What processor do you have? I'm using a ryzen 2600.

How do you fix that error and let it fully completely installed?

That's why I'm asking; to maybe pinpoint the issue. Could you answer my question? What CPU does your host computer have? Intel Core? Ryzen? What exact model? i5 10400? Ryzen 3600X?
