As far as I know, there's no Apple-sanctioned installer for Front Row. It's part of OS X.

That's probably just the package receipt in /Library/Receipts, which doesn't actually contain any files. You should already have Front Row installed, why do you think that you don't?

Front Row should be installed by default on your MacBook. There is no need to install it separately. Just hit menu on your remote and see what happens.
