Does this happen on only one CD?
Is this an original installation disk or a copy?
What is the exact error message in full?

OS type? vista compatibility issue? installation errors with vista don't always say the same thing.

and refer to first guy, try installing the program onto a different computer to see if it's isolated to the comptuer or there's something wrong with the CD.

As the previous posters have mentioned, try another disk. It could just be bad.

If it does not work still, try using a cd cleaner or spray some canned air into the drive. wait a few minutes.

If that didnt do it, uninstall the drive (device manager) and re-install it with the latest drivers.

If that didnt do it, it may be time to replace the drive
