Problems installing.

hi, this is kinda weirdo...
i just decided i wanted to replay the game as a Gangrel, so i took it out of my games shelf and i installed it. no strange things here, no iso, no cracks, no patches, nothing, just a vanilla, unpatched vampire bloodlines ver 1.00. whoa, nice. i ran through the game and in some days i arrived in Chinatown. actually, yesterday i talked with Gary, quicksaved, then i exited the game and went to sleep.
today i decided to go on, but here starts the mess. i double click the game icon and immediately the antivirus (AVG free edition) warns me that the exe file is a trojan. i laughed, then digged around the net. yeah, it seems AVG sometimes gives false positives because of its euristhics. no problem man, i turn off the euristhics and run the game. same ****. this time i didnt laugh, so since i was feeling lazy, i decided to go with a new installation of the game - i mean, if it stays with me 2 weeks, like the first installation, i can easily finish the game and place it another time on my shelf, happily taking dust on there.
all right, i uninstall the game, then i reinstall it. sadly, the damned bastard pops out an error message a few moments after i get nines concept artwork on the screen:
"Error reading from file: D:\Setup\Data\vampire.exe. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it."
hm, i think, lets ignore it and manually copy the exe file once the installation is done. ladies and gentlemen, i cant even copy the friggin file on my HD.
now, i am patient and all, but what the hell? i looked around on the net and i didnt find something relevant, so i just figured i should ask instead of going nuts. maybe some of you know about this problem, why it happens and the workaround.
