    Welcome to the forum.
    Is you Windows XP up to date? some ,me time ago the Windows program  installer was reworked for Windows XP. Like 2005.

    Here is a recent item fro MS.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc185688%28v=VS.85%29.aspx
    This may help you learn about the installer.

    My gut felling is you have a dirty CD-Rom drive. Get a drive cleaner from a local store and clean the CD-Rom drive.

    Is the problem with just the one program or all programs?
