It sounds like a problem with the installation program. You might
want to try installing on a Mac, then copying the installed files to
floppy, then deleting them from the Mac and installing them via
Executor.
The sad fact is that some installers do really bad things which makes
it hard for emulators to run them. As an example, Apple's MAE 1.0
couldn't run Word 5's installer, and before you blame Microsoft, the
Word 5 installer was a derivative of Apple's Installer. Yahoo.
Installers based on VISE and Smaller Installer and Excel 3 and Excel
4's installers all should work under Executor. I'm not sure what
Claris Works 2 uses.
