Why can't I install additional toolboxes to MATLAB after installing MATLAB Parallel Server?

When I try to install additional toolboxes to MATLAB after installing MATLAB Parallel Server, it does not work if I am using the MathWorks Product installer. The error message reads,

"The selected folder has MATLAB Parallel Server installed. MATLAB must be installed in a separate folder."

How do I get around this?

In order to install additional toolboxes with the MathWorks Product Installer to MATLAB after MATLAB Parallel Server is installed, you must select the license that has MATLAB Parallel Server during installation. The additional toolboxes will then appear as products to install.

You can also install additional toolboxes with the Add-On Explorer inside of MATLAB.

If you are receiving an error that the folder specified cannot be selected or written to, ensure the following:

• You have privileges to write to the folder selected
• If you are using an offline installer or installer prior to R2022a, make sure the installer's update level matches the current installation
