Sounds like one of your game files on the disk is corrupt. I suggest getting back in touch with the store where you purchased it, and informing them that it won't install so you can get back the cost. If Bioware is still supporting the product, you could always call their tech support.

At least it's cheap! I just found SoA here on Amazon for under $6.

I STRONGLY advocate making backups when you get them. Note that if you have space on your hard drive to bring things on and off that all of the cds (including the 4 SoA ones and ToB) and be imaged and fit onto one burnable DVD, if you have a writer on your computer.
