Check the hard drive to be sure that there is not a folder or file with the
same name as one of the disks that you are trying to install. You should
check the root level of the hard drive and the desktop for items with
identical names to those of the disks the installer will be using.
Inspect the disk for a file moved from its proper location or renamed.
Once you move the file back to its correct location and/or properly
rename it, installation should run successfully.
This will require verification of file locations using another set of
the installation disks, or a file or directory description for each
disk. Any installation using the Apple Installer could be an
applicable situation, assuming there aren't other factors affecting the
suspect disk.
For non-Apple software, you should check with the appropriate vendor.
To locate a vendor's address and phone numbers, use the vendor name as
a search string.
