the 8bit google maps require quick time, and when i tried to install it, it was trying to access another player that i have that can play quicktime files (K-Lite Codec Pack), w/o the ad that the free quicktime player alwys displayes, so i blocked this action, then the setup kinda went into a loop and i had to end it with process tamer..... what is going on here?
