It installs fine now. Being a little picky I can see a minor inconsistency, the "Install location" field still displays the "common modules folder" even though it didn't install the module there. Shouldn't it be set to the real install location?

While I'm at it, I noticed that if I choose not to restart theWord after updating a module and get back to the "Add Titles..." dialog, the module still shows as outdated. The same with new modules, they don't get marked as installed until I restart theWord.

This is correct. This is the default location for new modules. In the case of a module update, the module will need to replace the existing file wherever that is.

When you update a module, what happens is that the module does not really get over-written until you restart theWord. So, until then, you use the old module, so it correctly shows that.
