If the symptom is like the installer program "dies" silently, then your pc is a Pentium 4. In such case, search this newsgroup for "Pentium 4 bug" to read full instructions.
Otherwise, all you need to do is to copy the entire cd content to the hard disk and rename the dll symjit.dll to symjit.dll.old and re-run the installer from the hard disk.
