Dealing with a corrupt File in an application CD

Am trying to install an application from a CD (the software for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W320/W330 camera). The installation gets stuck on a particular file. PMB.cab. I have tried copying the files to the desktop of my laptop (OS Windows 8.1) but the copying processes get stuck on the same file.

Is there software that might repair this? Normally I would download the Sony Software (the whole program) but I am in a situation her in Africa where I have poor internet and my allowance for downloads is very small (the program in question requires 340MB which is nearly my limit for a week here).
 
Try copying the files on a couple other disc drives - preferably not laptop drives. I use an ancient Sony BD-R drive at work to read beat up old CD backup discs which won't even mount on new DVD-R drives.

I've also had success in reading damaged discs by simply cloning the disc to a healthy blank.
