reinstall problems

[Beekay]

My friend and I played DF2 extensively, and then decided to upgrade to DFX. Being DF2 map-makers from hell, we just had to start making maps for DFX as well. The stock MED is kinda boring but some of the games we played online were cool, and we discovered we needed the DJ MOD to do what we wanted to do. OK fine. We started off with just a patch that punted anyone in the games we hosted. We did some reading, and have now dowloaded the full mod. Here's the problem, which is more of a computer thing than a DF thing, maybe, but surely some of you more knowledgeable types can help us out.

We both opted to uninstall and then reinstall DFX from scratch, because even after deleting the patch we still had problems. Mine reinstalled fine, but my friend is having trouble: he can't reinstall the game. He gets the install window just fine, but then it tells him the autorun isn't a valid win32 application. It suggests he doesn't have enough memory (I assure you he does). Any advice here?

can he try to run the installer from the root directory of the CD?
