This is the first report of such a problem. We're not aware of any reason why you might be getting a failed install so it could be something simple like a dirty CD or a dirty lens on your CD-ROM drive. Is this the original CD you are using or did you copy it?  Or a badly connected internal CD-ROM drive cable?

There's just a chance that your CD-ROM drive is so old that it is incompatible with modern CDs.  This used to be a problem with early machines (around the time of the first Pentiums) but I doubt it in this case because yours is a deal newer than that and besides, we have performed successful test installs on machines older than yours.

I'd start by ensuring the CD is clean, then opening the CD-ROM drive tray and blowing in there to maybe remove any dust on the laser (a CD lens cleaner may be useful?) and trying again.  Problems with dirty floppy drive heads / dirty CD-ROM Laser lenses are common with older machines which are dusty inside and where the drives have not been used for years.

Let us know how you get on.

If anyone else has had any problems with the installer / CD problems we really want to hear from you.
