    *sigh* Quicktime. I've had a lot of trouble with it in the past.
    When I did uninstall it, I had to sweep my computer for associated files,
    and even registry cleaners were unable to completely annihilate traces of it from my system.

    However, now, it has become a pressing issue. Every time I initiate uninstall
    through either iTunesSetup or Add/Remove Programs, the InstallWizard agent crashes.

    How, I beseech you, how, might I be able to uninstall Quicktime from my system?

    Reinstall Quicktime. Then Uninstall. That should work.

    Also if you go to websites use quicktime plug-ins, Quicktime might install again if you let the active x control do so.

    If you delete folder in C:/programs, that will kind of work, but all reg keys will still exist.

    That looks messed up, I myself like using Quicktime Alternative over the normal Quicktime. You should give it a try

    Yep, that is what I use. It is much less intrusive, as it installs only a vanilla version of QT. Same for RealPlayer Alternative.
