bud normally this type of installation is very slow....so it seems that the process in interupted b4 completing....if u have old system..try this.....

go to dos ...type..x:\I386\winnt ..when the file transfer screen appers..leave it there go watch a Movie or some thing....so after 2/3 hrs it may have completed the transfer..

but if u get the EULA msg even after complete file transfer then chances are ur cd has some scratches on it..try with another CD
