This brings back memories! Yup, I had similar problems.  The problem seemed
to center around me not having enough space on my hard drive for the install.
It seems to need some scratch working space or something, butthe end result
was nested folders and duplicated files in weird places, like the help files
in the preferences folder, etc.... It never warned me that I didn't have
enough disk space THAT time.  

So, I tried to install only a portion of it using Expert Install, then it
informed me that I didn't have enough space.

I ended up getting it installed, but only after freeing up about 5 megs
on my hard drive.

(This is all from memory from months ago, it is not very accurate I'm sure)
