Question : Error 1304 on Installing Office 2003

I run in Windows XP, and am trying to re-install Office 2003 Student and Teacher Edition, but cannot get past an arror message:  

 Error 1304. Error wriiting to file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared \THEMES11\BLENDS\PREVIEW.GIF.Verify that you have access to that directory.

The CD/DVD drive is functioning normally and the disc is undamaged as far as I can see.

What ideas have you guys?

With all you have done, I suspect a defective CD. If you wish to explore what may be occurring, you can try installing from a command prompt:

msiexec /i xxxxxxx.msi /Liwe LOGFILE.txt

where xxxxxxx is the install package name (you'll have to use the full path to the CD), /Liwe creates a logfile containing status, warning, and error messages.
