I see this all the time. Why is it that the installer doesn't allow you to retry a package ... and instead errors out and dies...
I actually tested my media and I still had the problem at some point in my installation.
Bottom line though it shouldn't just die. Give a chance to retry, abort, or ignore...and continue giving that chance until the USER decides to abort.
Maybe I have 3 or for disks...1 may go bad but I have more. I can burn new ones in a couple of minutes...etc.
