bad cdrom drive maybe? try copying the installation files to a folder on the harddrive and runs the setup from the harddrive and see if that works.

Sounds to me like the software you're trying to install is CORRUPT.

If you try to install it on 2 or 3 different computers with the same result, software is corrupt.

Good luck.

@Guard? McAfee? Shut down programs one at a time from your taskbar (programs by the clock) I'd bet it's one of those, I had this problem once, and I pulled my hair out for weeks, and finally figured it to be a conflict of one of the above mentioned programs.

(oh, btw, Norton Internet Security IS @guard)
