Problem installing Starcraft 2?

Question

OK, so I bought my dad the game and when we tried to install from the disk, at 51% it stops and gives an error code saying that it cannot read a file, and that your disk may be damaged, dirty, or the disk drive might be damaged.

Looks something like "fileset.base&#92;Mods&#92;Core.SC2Mod&#92;Index.SC2Locale" for the file it cannot read, but it sometimes it's different exact file with similar wording.

A) I know the disk drive is fine because the DVD/RW drive itself had been replaced a year ago and and he was just playing another game fine that needs the disk to play a day ago

B) We returned the disk to the store for another one and it still stops at 51% with another error of similar type but says it cannot read a certain fiel, the file names are always different but similar looking.

I tried to install in Safe Mode
I have made sure all hidden files are shown, and it is run as an administrator 

- I tried to copy all the files from the the DVD drive folder to a folder on the desktop and it stops halfway through and says it cannot read a file to copy it.

Now I know the disk is not damaged because why would two seperate disks have the same error on the same exact part of installation????

What is going on here?

He has a Vista 32-bit OS, His specs are fine (although we plan to add memory chips if the gameplay is slower than he wants)

If anybody has words of wisdom I'd be extremely happy.

Hi i got same problem , by many diffrent games , oh and damn starcraft 2 too ^^ , uhm the only chance to get that game installed is for me to make an image of the dvd ( using a diffrent PC + DvDdrive+using Program "ImageBurn" and put the image on an external hard drive) and install it on my main computer (running daemontools to mount the image etc....)


I think my DvD drive is damaged or sth but iam too lazy to buy a new one :D

Hope it works for u too :)

My roommate who's a Starcraft 2 participant had a video card get burned out because of this, I swear to god. there's a fix nevertheless... no concept the place to locate it notwithstanding. My guess is commence at snowfall's internet site.

Have you tried to install the game on a different computer? The CD key is registered to the Battlenet account and not to the PC so it won't hurt to try that. 

Is the hard drive full on the PC you are trying to install to? The game takes around 12 gigs of hard drive space.

I would search SCII's Tech support forum to see if anyone else is having that issue. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/13438/
