LOTR - Battle for Middle Earth Won't Install

When the disk auto-runs, I get the following message:

"The Battle for Middle-earth(tm) requires at least Windows 2000/Windows XP in order to run."

I am, in fact, running Windows 2000 with all of the latest patches, and my system is approximately quadruple the requirements listed on the box.

Any ideas? The EA website is useless, and even Google came up empty.

Well, I did get it to install on mine by logging in as administrator (my normal account is admin-equivalent, so that shouldn't have mattered). It seems to work fine now logged in as myself.
