Two things to try which work on many programs that run on Windows 98 or XP:
1: Instead of letting the disk autorun, cancel the setup when it
starts.
click the My Computer icon. Right click on the drive that the CD
is
in. Click Explore. Find the Setup.exe file. Right Click it and select
properties. On the compatibility tab select either Windows 98 or XP SP2.
2: Do the above until you see the Setup.exe file in Explorer. Right
click on it and select "run as administrator"
No promises, but it should at least get the program to install.
Good Luck,
PCPhill
BTW: Also make sure the disc is clean! dirt or scratchs(especially on the
printed side) will prevent a good read. Dirt can be cleaned, scratches on
the top turn it to a coaster permene
ntly!
