Where's the QT-free iTunes download?

[CKent]

I'm installing Itunes on a client's PC and I've heard the argument about QT, with the Mac side saying iTunes is available as a download without QT required or bundled... but the only download I can find is here, and the page specifically lists QT 7.1 as a requirement and mentions that it's included in the download. I find my clients typically want as little changed as possible, and having QuickTime take over all their video playing tasks without asking might be too radical a change.

it's called quicktime alternative

seriously, QT is absolutely horrid, don't waste your time with the slow POS and get QT alternative instead

Thanks, I'd never install itunes or qt on my personal systems, but as I said this is for a client... and again, I'm actually trying to avoid putting QT on her system; she just wants itunes on it. I've read that there's a download of itunes available which doesn't include qt, but I can't find it, so I'm just asking for a URL.

ive seen a couple of "hacked" installers without quicktime, but itunes gets all messed up without it, so i personally think you are better off just installing itunes+quicktime. quicktime isnt all that bad if you disable the startup entries and MIME preferences.
