Error installing C++5.0 DAO Components

I am trying to install C++5.0 on a Dell laptop computer running XP Home SP2. The installation seems to run fine until attempting to install DAO components. The error message simply reads that there was an error and that I should try to install DAO from the DAO SDK Disk 1 directory, which also does not work. I already have the C++ program on 4 other computers, (none are Dell) and the program works just fine. I can’t find or think of any difference other than the fact that the laptop is a Dell. Is there some aspect of DAO installation that I may be missing or a compatibility issue I am not aware of?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please forgive me if I am posting my question in the wrong place. Redirect me if necessary.

Thanks so much
