exporting h.264 with quicktime wrapper from PP CC on Win10

I have a client that demands that I deliver news packages as h.264 with a quicktime wrapper. Can't seem to find a solution except to buy a mac. Am I the only one with this problem on CC Premier Pro? Is there a work around or a plugin that I could use?

    Just change the .mp4 extension to .mov and QuickTime will handle it.   AV Foundation Frameworks will as well if you're sending it to someone on macOS, iOS, tvOS, watchOS.

    Important note:  QuickTime was deprecated by Apple back in 2013.  The file format is still in use, but QuickTime as a system driver for handling time based media is not.  More info here if interested: http://devstreaming.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2013/606xdx2xbp31zp28fdov8p0b6d/606/606.pdf

    Set Preset to e.g. Cineform first then change video codec.
