What version of WP is this? IIRC, there was a version which had an
installer bug, though I thought it was an older release which should now
be replaced. You may be able to search Deja (though it's now restricted
to ~12 months of archives and may miss the issue) or at Corel's own
support site.
The problem was one of either casing (upper or lower, don't recall) of
extracted or pre-extract filenames, or location of the tar files WRT the
installer. IIRC, the installer *needs* to see the tarfiles (cased
appropriately), even though it's not doing anything with them.
Good luck.
