Correct. There's no .exe, no installation process, no progress bars,
etc. Assuming you have QuickTime installed in "C:\Program
Files\QuickTime\" (which should contain some files, like e.g.
QuickTimePlayer.exe, a couple of dlls and subfolders) just copy the
.qtx file to "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTComponents", as per Readme
file, and restart your machine for good measure. That should be it.

Installing XiphQT won't create file associations for .ogg files but
you should be able to open .ogg files in QuickTimePlayer/iTunes
through menu 'Open file.../Add file to library...'. (works on a
clean-install WinXP system with iTunes 7.0.2.16 and QuickTime 7.1.3).

As for the .flac (native FLAC) files, they are not yet supported on Windows.

Hope that helps,
