It was designed to run on windows os's from 98 to xp. I have gold (+HotU, and later Diamond on disk and from GOG) and the only installation problem I had on XP was with the serial number (the D's looked like 0's). In all probability your problem is down to the surface of the disk. Do you get any error messages or messages from your firewall/anti-virus? If the latter, try disconnecting your pc from the internet temporarily and disabling both just for the time it takes to install.
Hope this has been of use.
