Pacifist is not on the Mac OS X installer disk in any case. It's a third-party application, from CharlesSoft. If QuickTime Player 7 doesn't appear in the Utilities folder ( not the Applications folder) after running the installer, you can use Pacifist to extract the Player app from the installer package.

But you really, both from a maintenance standpoint and legally, need to get a new copy of the Mac OS X installer disk. Though you probably don't need it now, it's quite possible that you'll need it eventually, though one would hope not.

Regards.
