For those people who get the QuickPlay Enabled or QuickPlay authorized machine only error while installing, please try the following:

Using Notepad, make a file and save as .reg with the following:-

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\QPFlag]
“QPFlag”=dword:00000003
“@=”=””

Then add to the registry by double clicking this file afte you’ved saved it install QuickPlay.

If extraction for QuickPlay Direct fails claiming one of the files is corrupt, always try the file before and after the number that winrar tells you is corrupt. Both the data4.cab and data3.cab files are huge and span over different compressed pieces, winrar isn’t always accurate.
