Server Admin 10.6.7 Tools cannot be installed on Server 10.6.7?

Server Admin (10.6.5) has been having problems on a remote server I administer. I checked and 10.6.7 tools are available, so I downloaded them. When I attempt to run the installer package, the application says it cannot install the software because it must be installed on the same disk as Mac OS X. There’s nothing in the installer error log about a problem.

Has anyone else seen this? Has anyone successfully installed Server Admin 10.6.7 tools on Mac OS X Server 10.6.7?

Server Admin Tools-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

The Server Tools downloads are for installation on Mac OS X client systems. Not on servers. Mac OS X Server has an integrated version of these tools, and that is maintained as part of Mac OS X Server updates.

And for completeness, the version numbers displayed by various parts of the 10.6.7 Server Tools are known to be confusing; if you have downloaded the 10.6.7 tools for installation onto a client or if you're running version 10.6.7 of Mac OS X Server and patched to current, then you're current with Server Tools.
