Apple Quicktime player for windows is one of the more evil installers I've seen. You can't get it without also getting iTunes (40 MB download), though it appears you can uninstall iTunes afterwards, but uninstaller requests a reboot. It makes network connections during install (creepy), installs some service/daemon in the system tray (that interferes with drive letter mapping of AFS, of all things), and installs stuff in the quick launch bar without asking. The installer requires IExplore to quit before it can complete install (most people have a window open, because that's where the download came from).
Also, I get the error
RUNDLL: An exception occurred while trying to run ""C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.dll",QTPostInstallProc"
which stalls the installation. (possibly because the Program Files path is hard coded, and I wasn't installing there.)
And I get a "Send Microsoft Error report" error when trying to view the HD 480p Brothers Grimm trailer
