Apple QuickTime Uninstaller

As we have all seen recently, it is time we get rid of Apple QuickTime from PCs as they are no longer going to update the software. I had a few ask me to publish a blanket uninstaller for QuickTime. With the help of Sapien's PowerShell Studio, I wrote this script to uninstall it from all of the machines in my firm. This uninstaller will query the Add/Remove programs for any applications named quicktime. It will uninstall any version of QuickTime. I have pre-configured the script parameters to search for apps name 'QuickTime' and use the msi switches '/qb- /norestart'.

You can download the script from here.
