BFME II Installation Error - EnglishAudio.big

When i try to install The Battle For Middle Earth II, it gets to 6% on the first disc before an error comes up:

'Unable to copy E:EnglishAudio.big from the media'

along the lines of that...

I have previously had the game installed, and it caused no problems, however i got a new computer and since have not been able to install it due to the aforementioned error...

Help!

Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP 2002 Service Pack 2

Hi H E R M E S and welcome to TSF,

Create a Folder on the HDD and name it Flatfile. Copy the contents of the DVD to that folder and try to install again.
Also make sure the DVD isn't scratched or has dirt marks on it.

Also try not to bump a thread after 2hrs sometimes it can take longer than a day to be replied to, As we are all helping out for free.

Hi Hermes.

That error message suggests that the disk might be damaged or the data corrupt. Check the disk for scratches or other signs of damage.

You could try copying the contents of the disk to your computer and trying to install it that way.

If possible, try the disk on a different computer.

EDIT: Karlos beat me to it

Some PC stores have disc cleaning equipment that buffs the top layer of the disc which removes the scratches.
If you live in Australia, Video EZY and Blockbuster have the same cleaning equipment.
