Yeah, silly me. When the press release said that the components were
available from the company that wrote the program (the one where the
press release was posted) I thought it would be better to get it from
there.
(note to self. Ignore such thoughts in the future)
That's the site that is nearly impossible to find the thing, and I
never did find the components themselves, only their main product
<shrug> Teach me to try to go straight to thhe source.

This is the press release. Arrow down and the website for
downloading is clearly given:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/flip4mac.mspx
Down that page there was a clear label "download windows media
components for quicktime" upon which I hit enter.
You arrow down the page and right below the brief description is a
download button; you hit enter on that and you download.
You get the usual dialog warning it's an application and asking if
you want to continue. When it's finished you'll find an installer
package in finder. It's pretty straightforward. You may think you
are stuck on the "agree" button but if you turn voiceover off and
on again you'll find you are actually successfully past that. when
the installer runs its script this takes quite a while but don't
get anxious. Eventually you'll see the window has changed so
there's a "close" button and you'll also see that software was
installed successfully.
