Windows isn't case sensitive, so migregdb.ex_ and MIGREGDB.EX_ are treated
as the same file, so that isn't your problem.

I would suspect a duff cd - either a problem with the cd drive or the xp cd.
Can you physically copy the file yourself using another pc? If you can then
does it fit on a floppy or could you copy it to another cd and let the
windows installer try with your copy.

Hope this helps,

Brian
