Also, besides checking that you put the visulaizers in the "iTunes Plug-ins" folder in the "iTunes" folder in the "Library" folder on Finder's Home Page, did you uncompress them? Visualizers should have a "bundle" extension and, unless they have been given a customized one, they should have a lego-cube icon with musical notes on one face and an atom on another. Some visualizers have their own folders an which case the whole folder needs to be put into the "iTunes Plug-ins" folder.

The 'Fountain Music' installer reports an error on my system and does not install.
After copying the 'Fountain Music.bundle' file to the plug-ins folder it worked.
The same is true for the 'Ultragroovalicious.bundle' file.

Both visualizers appear in the 'Visualizer' menu of iTunes and work.

Check the correct location(s):
To be accessable for all users, put them in ./Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins.
For a single user: ./Users/YourUsername/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins
