I used to have this problem.  For me it turned out that
I didn't have execute permissions set for the cdrom mount.
Check your /etc/fstab file and make sure that the exec
option is set for your /cdrom entry.  It should look
something like this:

/dev/hdd    /cdrom    iso9660    ro,noauto,user,exec  0  0
                                                ----

If this doesn't work, do you have enough space on your
hard drive(s) to copy the cdrom files to a hard disk.
If so, do it and try executing setup from from where
ever you copy it to.

Later,
