yes..I know the cause of problem.

First let me ask some thing........
1)have U download the setup from any site??
2)r u using a cracked setup??


The problem is due to missing file...............or in case U have download it from anysite as a image,than try to burn the image at very low speed.
__________
In case U have downloaded the image file..
Follow these steps.

1)DON'T burn this to DVD yet as it contains a minor error and installation will probably FAIL.

2)Open up a hex editor such as WinHex (google it)and go to offset 0x4E932855.

3)Make this change here: byte 0xFD should be 0xFF. Save the file.

4) Your ISO is now ready for mounting/burning. The installation would work even when not installed from a DVD.

-Cheers-

to the same offset as u told...0x4E932855.BUT i could not
find "FD" at this position,instead there is byte "40"....
