Thanks, Tom, but no cigar.
Installation of combined QuickTime+iTunes aborted, as before, with a message
that there is a newer version of iTunes resident on the computer. Don't ask
me how my last update of iTunes as of several months ago managed to be newer
than the current download, but there it is. Looks as though I'm going to
have to do a manual uninstall of iTunes unless you have any better ideas. By
the way, after the abort, I was able to uninstall QuickTime, for whatever
that's worth.
