ARPLE CD: How To Perform Manual Install

I am experiencing difficulty with the installation of the new Apple Reference, Performance, & Learning Expert (ARPLE) CD, October '95 Provider Edition. Each time that I try to run the ARPLE II HD Installer, the installer provides a "unsuccessfully installed" message.

I have tried two different ARPLE CDs (both October), on three different computers (Macintosh Workgroup Server 8150, Quadra 840AV, Quadra 800 with PowerPC card all with system 7.5.1), with the same non-results.
You may be experiencing an installer issue where the Apple Media Tool preferences file is not being installed properly. You could try restarting with all of extensions off, except your CD-ROM extension, before attempting to run the installer or you could try a manual installation.

The following instructions describe how to perform a manual installation:
