Hi Bruce, I had repaired the permissions just the day before. I'll try
the re-install, since I'm not very versed on terminal and I'm afraid to
mess-up something. But, if all fails I'll risk it.
Where can i check my "user name"?

It could be a permissions problem on your disk, try running Disk
Utility and repairing permissions on the disk you're trying to install

I had a similar installation problem with another program, End Note.
Turns out it was trying to install something in an application (MS
Word) that had been installed by another user.
Even though I was supposed to have admin rights it failed at this
point.
Make sure you're installing as the same user who originally installed
Appleworks, or delete Appleworks and resinstall, then upgrade, or go
into Terminal and do a 'sudo chown -R <application folder name> <user
name>'
In your case it'll be something like
sudo chown -R /Applications/AppleWorks.app hemac
Or whatever your short username is on your mac.
This gives you ownership of the appleworks folder and all the stuff
inside it.
