What version do you have? SF, PanVision ...
Is it the original game or the patch that will not install?
Are you trying to install to the default directory?
 
I need to know whar version it is, in order to help you.
What are the names on the logos on the CD?

That means you have the SF version. Otherwise known as the North American version.

I would suggest changeing the DMA setting on your CD-rom drive.
on/off
 
Control panel - Apearance & Maintenance - System - Device manager - Double click IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers - Doubl click on Primary or secondary depending on what drive your CD rom drive is, to bring up the properties. Drive 0 is the master and Drive 1 is the slave.

I don't know how familliar you are with those terms, but that is how you find the DMA controls, at least in win XP pro, I assume the home edition is the same.
 
Just switch to it for your CD-rom drive only, try a reinstall and see if it works, if it still does not work, then switch it back.
