How to install QtQuick 1.1 on QT 5.1.1

Question

I developed a project on Windows using Qt 5.1.1 and used the QtQuick 2.0 import in the QML files. Lately I discovered that my application requires OpenGL 2.0 or greater, hence it can't run on systems that have OpenGL 1.0. I searched and found that this happens because of the QtQuick 2.0 import.

The problem is: I cannot just modify the import from QtQuick 2.0 to QtQuick 1.0 because I get errors:

QtQuick 1.0  module verison is not installed

So how can I install only QtQuick 1.0? I also Installed Qt 4.7 that comes with QtQuick 4.7 but it happens to be quite hard work to port from Qt 5.1.1 to Qt 4.7. It's not that simple, so I want to keep it as simple as possible and install QtQuick 1.0 on Qt 5.1.1.

Note: I am not doing strange things in the QML files; the QML code should work with no problems with QtQuick 1.0.

Qt Quick 1 is using a different QML engine. You can't use it from within the contemporary QML engine. You need to use the Qt Declarative module (see list of modules), which provides a Qt 4.8-style Qt Quick 1 implementation. This module is usually installed by default.
