Something very strange is happening. The download for 2.0 beta 13 is a ZIP file, so if you are able to unzip it successfully, you should be able to install it without any trouble. The fact that you're getting an error indicates something else is wrong. Something at the system level.

By any chance, are you logged into XP with a user-level lower than "administrator"? That might produce an error at installation time.
