Trying to install C&C 1 from the the original CD, but I'm getting errors

I have a PC that I've NEVER put online, running Win XP Pro (32-bit version: 5.1.2600 SP3, build: 2600) with an AMD Athlon 64 3700+ Processor, nor will I ever put it on the internet.

When trying to run INSTALL.EXE on the CD, I'm getting this message, "Unable to load SETUP.MIX file from CD-ROM disk. Press any key after inserting CD_ROM disc or press ESC to exit." Mind you, the CD is in the drive, which is how I was able to click on the INSTALL.EXE file. With Windows Explorer, I can clearly see the SETUP.MIX file.

Why then am I not able to run the install?!?

    Edit: The full message: 

    "DOS/4GW Professional Protected Mode Run-time Version 1.97, Copyright (c) Rational Systems, Inc. 1990-1994. Unable to load SETUP.MIX file from CD-ROM disk. Press any key after inserting CD_ROM disc or press ESC to exit." 

    I've even mounted an ISO I created of each of the CDs with Daemon Tools Pro and when that didn't work, I tried ElborateBytes Virtual Clone, which also didn't work. To be clear, I own the CDs, but I'm getting this error message on any method.
