Apple released QuickTime 7.62.14.0 to address multiple vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition. US-CERT encourages users to review Apple article HT3591 and apply any necessary updates to help mitigate the risks.
Apple uses Windows Installer based setup since version 7 of QuickTime, so this article describes how to deploy QuickTime 7 by using Windows Installer technology. Although the camtasia's for this article show how to install 'QuickTime 7.0.3 ', the method is exactly the same. If you already deployed an earlier version of QuickTime and created a transform file for it, you will have to create a new transform file for QuickTime 7.62.14.0 because the transform files aren't compatible (you will get a 1624 error if you nevertheless try to re-use it).
1) Download "QuickTimeInstaller.exe" (version 7.62.14.0) and execute it.
2) Wait for the "Welcome to the QuickTime 7 Installer" screen to show.
3) Search in the 'c:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME&\Local Settings\Temp\ directory for a subdirectory with in that directory a file called "QuickTime.msi". When found, copy both QuickTime.msi to e.g. c:\Install\QuickTime.
(Tip! "Local Settings" is a hidden directory, "Show hidden files and folders" should be turned on in Windows Explorer). Then switch back to the "Welcome to the QuickTime 7 Installer" screen and click on 'Cancel'.

4) Start AdminStudion Tuner, create a response Transform file and then open it
5) You can change the following admin related properties
(the property names are self explaining, ASUW is an acronym for 'Apple Software Update for Windows' which gets installed if you use INSTALL_ASUW=1 and use the 'AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi'):
DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS=
INSTALL_ASUW=
PROGRAMMENUNAME=
QT_TRAY_ICON=
SCHEDULE_ASUW=
... and then set
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc\QuickTime\ActiveX\QTTaskRunFlags to '2' in order to prevent the QuickTime icon the the system tray from showing up: 
Then save the Transform file.
6) Test this MSI and Transform file by using msiexec /i quicktime.msi TRANSFORMS=quicktime.mst /qb
N.B. After deploying QuickTime you will notice a QuickTime icon in the System Tray (provided you didn't disable the Quicktime icon in the System Tray, otherwise choose 'Edit, Preferences, QuickTime Preferences' from within the QuickTime player).
You can configure QuickTime's Preferences by using this icon. E.g. you can disable the Update feature (Update tab), configure the streaming speed and transport setup as well configure whether QuickTime movies are played automatically after downloading. After clicking 'Ok', the changed preferences will be stored in the file
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime\QuickTime.qtp which can be added to the Transform file as well:
N.B. If you deploy QuickTime and you want to use it from within Firefox, you will get a notification about a missing Firefox plugin. This is QuickTime related. You can solve it manually by going into Control Panel, QuickTime, click on the Browser Tab, MIME settings and then click on 'Use Defaults'. The integration is then available after restarting Firefox. What this option does is just copying a couple of QuickTime related files into your Firefox program files directory:
c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components\nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
and
c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\npqtplugin.dll
c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\npqtplugin2.dll
c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\npqtplugin3.dll
c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\npqtplugin4.dll
c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\npqtplugin5.dll
c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\npqtplugin6.dll
c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\npqtplugin7.dll
c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\QuickTimePlugin.class
So just add these QuickTime plugins to your QuickTime Transform file and you're in business when it comes to using QuickTime within your Firefoxbrowser.
