Uninstall QuickTime – Removing QuickTime and Reinstalling iTunes

My father has to give up on ever being able to use QuickTime again as he can’t it and uninstall it. He was trying to upgrade ITunes but when he tried to install it, message is old version of QuickTime couldn’t uninstall. QuickTime shows in his Control Panel, but every time I click on it, it does nothing. When I try to install the standalone version, it comes up and asks do you want to completely remove this program, I click ok and it gives me an error 1605 and exits.
