Cannot install Xcode 10 Network Link Conditioner in macOS Mojave

I'm using the final version of Xcode 10 on macOS Mojave beta 11. I downloaded the Additional Tools for Xcode 10 package from Apple's website.

When I try to install the Network Link Conditioner Preference Pane, Settings.app displays this error:

“Network Link Conditioner” preferences is installed with macOS and can’t be replaced.

However, the preference pane is not visible inside Settings.app. I even checked under /Library/PreferencePanes - it's not there.

How can I get around this?

I ended up manually copying the .prefPane file to:

/Library/PreferencePanes

After restarting Settings.app, it finally appeared on the list and worked perfectly.

As Martijn Scheffer stated in this comment, the reason for the pane not appearing in System Preferences is that the installer incorrectly puts the file to ~/Library/PreferencePanes instead of /Library/PreferencePanes.

Download in https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ Additional Tools for Xcode 10.1
