Actually, DVDs are written faster than CDs. The base level of 1X speed is
more data for DVD than for CD: so although a typical DVD writer may record
CDs at 40X and DVDs at 16X, in real life the 16X is significantly more data
and therefore faster.

However, it is interesting that you got the Office CDR to work by burning at
the slower speed. I must try that out too. I'll post the result of my test
for you.

It's down to the burn speed for some reason with these iso files. I
reburnt
my office cd at 4x and it installed fine. DVDs are written at a slower
speed
anyway. HOpefully MS will fix the iso files in the future.

Well to add to the confusion, I realise now that I downloaded both Vista
and
Office finals from MSDN site and burnt them both to CD or DVD on the same
computer which had Windows Vista RC2 and Nero 7.5 installed at that time
(in
fact it is the same machine that I am now running the final versions).

So if Vista ISO burnt OK to DVD, why didn't Office ISO burn to CD?

I think we can safely eliminate any hardware problem: Vista seems the
most
likely suspect but Nero is not ruled out of the equation.

It doesn't seem to be just Vista, as I couldn't read my original CDs
from
XP x64 either, and I didn't write the CDs under Vista.

Is this a Nero problem, as I am using Nero 7 also?

just wanted to second that: I downloaded and burnt the ISO twice using
Nero 7, and got the error Philip reported. Then I used 7-zip
(http://www.7-zip.org/) to extract the contents of the ISO into a
local
folder and ran setup.exe from there -- and it all works just fine.
Operating system: Windows XP Pro. So it has probably to do with the
way
the ISO is structured (?), not with Vista.
