Archicad will not start up.

[Anonymous]

I have Quicktime Pro (version 7.6.9) installed, and tried the student version of Archicad 64 on my 64bit Windows 7 Pro system. When I try to start Archicad it failed with a message:

"Problem: QuickTime is outdated or missing.

ArchiCAD requires QuickTime 7.0 or later, image compressors,
decompressors, and required GSQtCom.
Make sure you have QuickTime installed with the "Recommended"
option chosen at installation and not with the minimal option selected.
Uninstall QT then reinstall it with the recommended option selected.
You must also run the GSQtcom.exe to register it."

It took a awhile to find but I found and ran
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Graphisoft Shared\GSQtCom\14.0.1\GSOtCom.exe. ARCHICAD FAILED AGAIN with the same error!
I uninstalled Archicad 64 downloaded Archicad32 Same error message.
I uninstalled Quicktime 7.6.9 (the latest version) Downloaded the latest and greatest version (same) from Apple.com. Installed it without error. (standard install)
Archicad gave the same start fail error........ran GSOtCom.exe Still FAIL!

Does anybody have any ideas?
is this a ported apple program that has issues with windows?

Yo just need to refresh your desktop to see the icon, but the re-boot would do it too.

I would do what Masterscript said.
Delete Itunes and Quicktime.
Install Quicktime that comes with Archicad.
