Games won't install :(

[BPyser1]

I'm trying to install Pharaoh on my Windows XP SP2 system. When I ru
the autorun and click install, it goes to the "install shield wizar
screen", but only reaches 92% before it closes and no setup scree
shows up at all. Can someone help me fix this problem, Thanks
On my dad's computer, the same thing happens only it closes at 99%.
BTW, this also happens on my other City Building Series Games (b
Impressions Games, Sierra) including Caesar III.

Here's a screenie of the problem:

If you have a firewall running while your trying to install maybe that's the
prob but minamize the game while it's being installed and maybe you have a
firewall box saying to allow or not allow you know. Oh and it could be with
virus scan too. I know because I had to disable my firewall to load a few
games on my com.
