AppleWorks 6: Can‘t install due to privileges alert

Symptom

When you attempt to install AppleWorks 6 in Mac OS X, you may receive this alert message during the installation:

"You do not have enough access privileges for this installation" error code 1008:5,-5000

Solution

This indicates a permissions issue in a location where AppleWorks is attempting to install an item. Be sure that you are installing as an administrator and that you have read/write access to the Applications folder. You may also want to try using the "Fix Disk Permissions" option in Disk Utility.

In addition to this, if you have a Classic System Folder (Mac OS 9) on your hard disk, you should choose Fix OS 9 Permissions from the File menu in Disk Utility. This option is different from the general "Fix Disk Permissions" option in the Disk Utility window.
