Mac OS: "An Item Cannot Be Replaced" Message

When I try to install Mac OS, I get a message that says an item cannot be replaced. What should I do?
Cause: The Installer is attempting to replace a file, but there is a folder on the disk that has the same name as the file being replaced. (Files cannot replace folders).

Solution: Find the folder on your disk and rename it, then try the installation again.
