Please help with game install

I have a weird problem that I hope someone can pinpoint. I recently got Lord of the Rings: Battle For Middle-earth 2 on PC from Amazon, and tried to install it yesterday. I'm running on a 64-bit Windows 7, by the way. The game has six discs, and goes through the installation up until I have to put disc 5 in. When I put disc 5 in, it gets to the last percentage, 83%, and gets stuck on the last few files and says "A problem occurred trying to transfer *insert file name* to the media. Retry or Cancel" If I hit retry after multiple fails, the file will eventually go to the next one, but then that file does the same thing.

Here's the funny part: the game installed perfectly fine on my little brother's Windows 8 PC, no problems whatsoever. On my Windows 7 PC I can't even copy the files from the disc to another folder, it gets stuck with 5 seconds left on the last few files (the ones that can't be read during installation). I've read that this can happen when the disc is defective, so I ordered ANOTHER copy off Amazon to see if the disc 5 in that will work. But why did it install on the Windows 8 computer? I installed other games perfectly fine, like LOTR: Return of the King and the old 2003 The Hobbit game without any problems. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks!

I had that problem coupe years ago, sometimes i was able to copy via total commander sometimes only with windows explorer. In most of the cases my dvd-rom was the problem. You cant really say what is exact problem 🙁

Use another computer and make an ISO of the CD. Then mount the ISO on your computer (transfer it via external storage or through the network first). You can use WinCDEmu to both create the ISO and mount it.

Make sure you are using the Install Disc - there are 3 disks for this game. These are DVD instal discks. There is one marked 'Install Disc' if you don't have it the game won't install. I had no problems on my Machine 64bit Windows 7.
