Swap out your dvd/cd ro for a spare, its probably that that is the problem, I used to have this with samsung 32xcd roms and win98, turned out that ones with a particular date always gave the same error reading files off any 98 cd, once it was installed they worked fine, also had it on a cd rom when instaling lotus smartsuite for a friend, temporarily swapped his LG cd rom for an older one he had and that let me install it.
I keep a couple of spares just in case this happens atm i have a 32x and an 8x hanging around.

Always proof-read carefully to see if you any words out.

create a copy of that disc to check if the cd is ok.
