AppleWorks: Locked File Error When Installing

When iMac customers attempt to reinstall AppleWorks while started up from the iMac Software Install CD, the installation proceeds until the AppleWorks Help Files are written, at which point they get an error that states that the disk is locked. The installation quits at this point.
Even though the Macintosh HD hard disk is selected as the destination disk, the AppleWorks installer attempts to write files to the currently active System Folder. When started up from the CD, this folder is locked. Running the installer while started up from the hard disk resolves this issue.
