can't install 16: "not writable" message

Anonymous
Not applicable
Trying to install AC 16 on new machine,

But receive message destination directory is "not writable".

I have admin privileges on the machine,
running Lion, with tons of RAM and space, so not sure what the problem is.

I did use the Apple migration assistant to move things from my old machine to the new one. Other applications in my applications folder function, but none of the archicad versions (13,14,15) I get this message when I try to launch an older version:
ArchiCAD cannot start, because the version/build number of one or more modules are not compatible. The reason can be:-hotfix installation failed/was interrupted
-you have several ArchiCAD's on your computer and some of them are not hotfixed yet.
- some modules were replaced manually
Any suggestions?

Thanks.
