Possible solutions:

* Reboot system, the try again.
* Run task manager, close unused programs
* Download software again, the download could be corrupted.
* If using Vista, right click and run as admin (should do this by default, but?).
* Disk space, disk space, disk space
* Try installing on another system.

How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" state
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353

Might see if it installs after rebooting to a "clean" state, perhaps a startup program is interfering...

Also, is System Restore enabled? Enable it if not.....

I would start with the System File Checker...

Start>run>cmd.exe

sfc /purgecache

You WILL need the XP CD for this to complete...

Scannow sfc

And make sure you are COMPLTELY up to date via Windows Updates....

check with the provider you downloaded from.....do they have a mirror site? If they do try from another mirror. Be sure to advise them you are having issues with the download.
