Looks like you've got the runtime package. There should be a separate design-time package, and that's the one you want to install.

Don't do that, especially if you're going to use runtime packages. Make a copy of the packages, rename them properly, and then install them. If you use runtime packages and distribute them, the risk is you may overwrite 2009 packages with 2010 ones on someone's system - and they wouldn't be compatible.
