Just saw this on another forum. Windows only...


Apple has ended support for QuickTime for Windows. The United States
Department of Homeland Security has issued a security warning advising of
the increased risk of malware or viral infection for machines that still
have Quicktime for Windows installed.

This does not have any effect on users that are working with Vectorworks
2015 or Vectorworks 2016 on Windows, and will have no effect on users with
any version of Vectorworks on Mac OS X.

However, uninstalling QuickTime <https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205771> from
Windows machines that are running Vectorworks 2014 or earlier will render
those versions inoperative. You will need to decide whether to leave
QuickTime installed or to upgrade to a version of Vectorworks that does not
depend on QuickTime. Unfortunately, previous versions of Vectorworks can
not be patched in order to remove their QuickTime dependency.


The above has been posted to the community board as well as the kbase, if
you have any questions please let me know.
