[AppleWorks 6] Error creating file." "1008:5,-5000 Access denied
Occassionally a user has problems updating AppleWorks 6. Specifically, an Error creating file." "1008:5,-5000 Access denied message is displayed as the update process fails.
This isn't directly an AppleWorks problem. It's actually a fairly common problem when using the third party installer Apple use, MindVision's Installer VISE.
According to a MindVision support document, this is a Mac OS X permissions issue. Though no workaround is offered by the document, I'd guess the problem can be fixed by repairing the Mac's permissions. Here's how to do this from Mac OS X 10.3.
1. Start Disk Utility. It's in the Applications/Utilities folder
2. Select the First Aid tab
3. Click the Repair Disk Permissions button
4. Consume your favourite beveridge while you're waiting
5. Try the AppleWorks Updater again
