I was wondering about distribution. I created a Quicktime show in Live Slide Show. I copied it onto a hybrid CD with an Autorun for the PC portion. I placed the windows version of Quicktime player on the CD in case the destination pc didn't have it. On PCs with quicktime installed it runs fine. On a PC without Quicktime it wouldn't launch, even with the player on the cd. Is there a way to distribute the movie and the Quicktime player to run on PCs without it installed?

  To my knowledge, you can't set up a CD to auto-run a QuickTime movie on a computer that doesn't have QuickTime installed.
  
  QuickTime consists of many technologies that have to be installed in the operating system of the computer before they can be accessed.
  
  The safest route to go is to provide a link on the CD to the QuickTime site so that people can easily jump over there, grab the latest version, and install it.
