[tex-live] Problem installing texlive2008

[Venkatesh, P.C.]

Hi, I inserted the new DVD and tried to install TexLive, and got the
following error messages.

My machine is a DELL desktop running Windows XP Professional 2002,
service pack 2.

I do have TexLive2007 installed already---don't know if this is causing
the problem.

Was able to install successfully on my laptop [also a windows machine,
but did not have TexLive 2007 on it.]

Thanks for any help
