Installer & "Problem With Disk" Error Message (7/96)

When I try to install the Apple Internet Connection Kit (AICK) on my Macintosh Performa computer, the message "There is a problem with the disk you are installing onto" appears.

I have reinitialized my hard drive and restored a new System Folder, but get the same failure. What might be causing this? I have no other SCSI devices attached.
Here are a couple troubleshooting procedures which should resolve this issue:

First
-----
A new System Folder on a Macintosh Performa computer has Folder Protection enabled in the General Controls control panel by default. This setting causes this installer, and possibly others like a StyleWriter or Color StyleWriter installer programs to fail.

Disable Folder Protection in the General Controls control panel and then install AICK or other software.

Second
------
Remove the Launcher from the control panels folder and restart.
