I'm not sure if this will help you at all, but I had a similar problem not too long ago. couldn't install BattleField 2 with the actual disks... the .cabs were requiring me to download .dll files.

so I made an ISO image of the disks using Nero and then used Daemon Tools (virtual drive) to install and play the game.

like I say, may not help, but a suggestion.
