Yeah, installers are fussy. I usually turn off FoolProof via keystroke
when I launch them. Some programs you're installing won't work unless
you let the installer put stuff where it wants to, esp. system extensions
and control panels. If you've configured FoolProof to lock users out of
those (generally advisable!), it will also do the same to you when you
try to install. It's a feature, not a bug, as they say....
