You can't.

Use Pacifist to extract it from the install DVD, if you deleted it accidentally.

Did you throw away your original copy?
If so, you'll have to reinstall the OS. Or you could try this:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ichatav.html

But I'm not sure if it's the Tiger version.

Reading does the mind good:

iChat AV 2.1

Tiger page:

iChat AV 3 for Tiger

🙂.

Edit: You could try installing a Combo OS Update and see if that brings iChat back...

Are you sure it isn't in your applications folder? It comes with every copy of Tiger. Unless you deleted it it should still be there.

Most of what we think of as iChat AV are parts of QuickTime. You should be able to just copy the app from another Tiger Mac.

Has no one read mkrishnan post? This is the easiest, quickest, and most legal way to install iChat.
