No, it's not the same, and I was leaning towards bad CD as well. The error is a failure on a specific file, however that file is one of three. One is a .wav file and the other two are texture files. It says that the data is invalid or corrupt. I ran the installer about 20 times, and it fails every time, at 86% or 87% on one of those three files, with error code 21FC.
I thought it could be a drive speed thing, and so I tried it on 5 different drives. 2 SATA drives, one a 54x the other a 50x, and two IDE drives, a 52x and a 40x, and on an external USB drive at 24x.
I think the CD is bad.
Can you send out a new one, preferably a YAPv2a one?
This is very frustrating.
