Games won't Install :(

I'm trying to install Pharaoh on my Windows XP SP2 system. When I run
the autorun and click install, it goes to the "install shield wizard
screen", but only reaches 92% before it closes and no setup screen
shows up at all. Can someone help me fix this problem, Thanks
On my dad's computer, the same thing happens only it closes at 99%.
BTW, this also happens on my other City Building Series Games (by
Impressions Games, Sierra) including Caesar III.

Here's a screenie of the problem:

Here are the stats of my computer...

Processor: AMD Duron(tm) Processor, MMX, 3D Now, ~750 MHz
Operating System: Windows XP SP2 Professional Edition
Memory: 192 RAM
Computer: Compaq
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400, 64 MB
Resolution: 1024 X 768
Free Space Available: 3.36 GB

I have the latest drivers updated and installed. I've also tried the
compatibility wizard (and thousands of other things) with no success.

I fixed it!!!! Thanks a bunch!!!
It turns out the directory of my Temp file was too large so I went
to...
My Computer/Properties/Advanced/Enviornment Variables/...
then I changed the directories of the temp and tmp items to C:\temp...
I then opened up the setup and IT WORKED!!!
