I doubt a simple filetransfer would do the work either seeing as there is likely registry keys etc that should be installed.
And if you don't have the time to fix the other error, how would you have the time to work out how to transfer the files from one computer to another?

You should probably contact Blizzard about this so that they can send you another copy of the game as the one you have most probebly is faulty if you get that kind of error.

I've encountered this error a couple of times trying to install Blizzard Games. You should be able to select a continue or ignore error and see if you can get it extracted. After a couple of tries the files get extracted and you're good to go.

You can also try copying all of the files from your CDRom to your computer and using it that way, see if it installs without problems.

If that fails, you can download the client, enter your Product Key, and let the patch process do the rest:
