I also saw this several times now; usually a broken CD is the cause;
can you please try one of the following:

* burn the ISO on a new CD/CD-RW and try again
 
  or

* start the installation in expert mode to get the main installer menu
  (which you usually not see); you should also be able to get to this
  menu after above failure. This menu offers a "Check CD" option which
  validates all files on it and reports corruptions. If it is
  corrupted, your CD is broken.

Martin
