Was it previously installed at any point? You might want to try running Ccleaner to clean out any old installs of it.

What operating system are you trying to install it on? If XP, does it have SP2 applied to it already? Try installing the latest windows installer.

If both machines are XP then its just a matter of hooking up the crossover cable and running the network setup wizard on both machines. Making sure that each machine is named differently and is on the same workgroup. I'm not sure if it will help you but try network magic, not sure if it will work in your case though.
