System.ini file update

Unable to update SYSTEM.INI file while installing QuickTime for Windows (QTW)

Cause: QTW occasionally fails to update the SYSTEM.INI file, if it is > 32k.

Solution: Manually add the QTWVideo= line to the [mci] section of the SYSTEM.INI file which is found in the WINDOWS directory - see below.

[mci]
waveaudio=mciwave.drv
sequencer=mciseq.drv
avivideo=mciavi.drv
cdaudio=mcicda.drv
QTWVideo=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MCIQTW.DRV
