Quicktime 7.4.1 Hangs Up Crashes System When I Try to Install on Tiger 4.11

I'm running Mac OS X.4.11 on a 800 MHz G4 PowerPC with 1GB SDRAM.
When I tried to install it through software update (several times now over a number of weeks) it is terminated by software update and moved to the trash. When I have rebooted and try to run the installer after removing it from the trash, it hangs up the system and I have to do a manual cold boot using the switch in the back (horrors). When I went to the Apple download site I noticed that the Tiger download wants 10.4.39 while my last update is to 10.4.11 with no way visible to get to 10.4.39.
When I go back a step and try to download Quicktime for Panther which only requires 10.3.9 the software does a check that says that it cannot be installed on my machine.
I am currently running Quicktime 7.3.1 Pro and am not sure what the heck the problem is. Any ideas as to what I can do?
Now of course iTunes is telling me to install it. But I don't think doing a software update from iTunes is going to do any good.
Other tidbits. I have a number of non-networked external drives, both USB and Firewire, I have run through procedures with these both on and off as the 1T Firewire drive backs up all the others. This has a backup of the QT software - could this be the problem even though I have tried installs with all external drives turned off.
Also, I have Flip 4 Mac and a number of other players for various formats. Is this an issue?
Thanks!
I may write comedy, but I assure you, this is no laughing matter!

Try using the "combo" update for 10.4.11 instead.
