This article discusses what to do when the QuickTime web browser plug-in, part of QuickTime 3, does not get installed by the Mac OS 8.5 Installer.
DISCUSSION The Mac OS Installer included with Mac OS 8.5 will install QuickTime 3 by default, but if a custom install is performed to exclude the Internet Access installer, the QuickTime Plugin component of QuickTime 3 will not be installed. To install QuickTime Plugin: Step 1 Enter the Customize section of the Mac OS Installer. Step 2 Click the Internet Access checkbox to select it. Step 3 Select "Customized Installation" from the pop-up menu to the right. See Figure 1 below. Figure 1: Customized Installation. Step 4 Choose whichever of the two web browsers you prefer, then click "OK" to return to the previous window. QuickTime Plugin will automatically be placed into the "Plug-ins" folder of the web browser being installed. See Figure 2 below. Step 5 Click "Start" and wait for the installation to complete. Figure 2: Choosing the components to install. Notes
2. QuickTime Plugin brings the multimedia capabilities of QuickTime to your web browser. Mac OS 8.5 ships with version 2.0.1 of the QuickTime Plugin. If you already have a web browser installed, it may include an earlier version of QuickTime Plugin. |
