Even then you can have problems with a marginal burn. I had a DVD that checked
out OK with the media check, but then the install failed. I am pretty sure I
was getting intermittant bad reads from the disk and that caused the install
to fail. I ended up reburning on a different blank and then things went
smoothly.
