I burned the CDs at 32x originally.  Thinking this was the problem, I did it
again at 8x, and the first two CDs installed OK, but the third one gave the
same error.  I suppose I might try burning the 3rd CD at 4x just to be safe,
but it's puzzling that the original CDs that just recently gave me problems
worked just fine a few weeks ago.

Also, I did run the integrity check (for both the old 32x CDs and 8x CDs)
before install ... and they passed.

Guess I'll try it again ... thanks for your input.
