Restore Quicktime X

Hi, I installed Quicktime 7 and deleted Quicktime X from applications because it ****** me off. But it seems that now I need it to use another program. Any ideas how to restore it?
I have a Mac Pro Snow Leopard.

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

If you've been using TIme Machine to back up your system, you should be able to just restore QuickTime Player X from the backup. Otherwise, you'll either need to reinstall Snow Leopard or extract QuickTime Player X from the Snow Leopard install disk using Pacifist, a (non-free) third-party utility. If want the steps to use Pacifist, let me know and I can post them.

Regards.

If you wish to extract QuickTime Player X from the installer, here are the steps:

1) download Pacifist from http://www.charlessoft.com/ and register and pay as appropriate.

2) Insert the Snow Leopard install DVD.

3) Launch Pacifist

4) Click the button that says "Open Apple Install Disks"

5) In the window that will open, accept the choice of "OS Install - Mac OS X and standard applications"

A window titled "OSInstall.mpkg" will open

6) If the list of contents under "Contents of OSInstall.mpkg" does not appear, click the disclosure triangle to show the list

7) Click the disclosure triangle next to "ContentsofEssentialSystemSoftware"

8) Click the disclosure triangle next to "ContentsofEssentialSystemSoftwareGroup"

9) Click the disclosure triangle next to "Contents of Essentials.pkg"

10) Click the disclosure triangle next to "Applications"

11) Click "QuickTime Player.app" to select it

12) Select the "Install Files to Default Location" command under the File menu

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 X to your Applications folder.

Regards.
