Getting Quicktime Version
Im trying to get the version of quicktime installed on the machine.

Ive been looking in the registry and found the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\QuickTime\Version

but the value is 0x6108000, and the version reported by quicktime is 6.5. So im not really sure how these 2 numbers match up.

Any help would be appreciated

I think, don't take as true, but if the value is 0x6108000, the version is:
6.1
If so, use strcpy to copy the first chars and parse it

My QuickTime player reports version 6.1 and has 0x06108000 in the registry key mentioned above.

the same applies to version 6.5 / 0x06508000

Hmmm QuickTime is obviously crapped up on my machine then. The program says 6.5, the registry says 6.1.

But if it works for everyone else thats good enough for me :) . Thanks for the help
