If you wish to extract QuickTime Player from the installer, here are the steps:
1) download Pacifist from http://www.charlessoft.com/
2) Download the QuickTime installer and open the disk image.
3) Launch Pacifist
4) Click the button that says "Open Package", navigate to the QT disk image, and select the QuickTime76x_Leopard.pkg file
5) In the window that will open, click the disclosure triangle next to both listings saying "Contents of QuickTime76x_Leopard.pkg" to show the list
6) Click the disclosure triangle next to "Applications"
7) Click "QuickTime Player.app" to select it
12) Click the "Install" button in the Pacifist toolbar.
13) Make sure that "Use Administrator Privileges" is checkmarked and that the file will be extracted to /Applications/
14) Click the "Install" button.
Pacifist should then restore QuickTime Player to your Applications folder.
