'D:/altera_installer/bin\..\..' does not contain a valid nios2eds installer

I am attempting to install the latest Quartus Web Edition v11.0. I downloaded ACDS v11.0 Web Edition DVD (ISO) and verified the md5sum matched. I then fired up the installer and got to the 'Select components' screen. But when I pressed 'Next >' (everything selected), I got: "'D:/altera_installer/bin\..\..' does not contain a valid nios2eds installer" 

 

I'm stumped. Is the DVD not actually valid? (It's definitely not corrupt.) I am attempting to install on Windows XP SP 3 on Sun VirtualBox. I searched the forums but couldn't find anyone who had a similar problem.

I didn't try this DVD, but isn't the Nios kit on a separate dvd or download? try to unselect NiosII from the list of components to install and download it separately.

The DVD forces me to install NIOS. Actually, I didn't want to use the DVD, so I downloaded the service pack first, but that's not the actual application, and it looks like those downloads are missing.

The error message appears to go away if you deselect all of the legacy components.

I also got the same problem. If I want to install the legacy tool, is there any way to solve this problem? Thanks.
