Two possibilities. Either the CD is damaged and you won't be able to install at all, or you could check if your CD drive needs a firmware upgrade. If you have another CD Rom drive or computer to try installing the game on it, that could narrow down if it's a drive or media issue.
I'd rather be part bull than a complete sheep.

Did you try compatability modes? some games can't install games on certain machines because of that.

Or you could try using a program to make an ISO of the CD and you could copy that ISO onto a blank disc and install from that.

Wouldn't it be simpler to try to copy entire CD to harddrive and start the installation from harddrive?
It sounds like there is a scratch on CD which prevents data extraction during installation (but copying it may work) or you have not enough free space on your HD.
