As it turns out, most apps and games don't need the entire QuickTime installation but rather work fine with whatever gets put in SysWOW64. This gave me an idea to collect every QuickTime version and extract the files that it installs in C drive. Where would I get all the QuickTime releases, except going through every game to find their respective versions and collecting their installer.

Old version has around 50 versions of them. Are they all? Has ever anyone decided to extract and separate the files?

Apple has them or did have them all on their support website at one point. That's how I got the last version installed on this PC that I'm using right now.

I found quite a lot of them in oldversions dot com. I managed to extract them, upto version 5.x today, and all the tested apps run fine by just putting the files. Probably I won't have to ruin my installation with QT again
