Reading your problem indicates to me that the user who sent you the file may not have been burned by apple disk utilities or it may have been corrupted in its travels thru cyberspace.
You could ask how it was burned and ask for another copy. You could also try to mount the disk image and run the installer from the disk image since the disk image on the desk top is similar to a virtual drive. Sometimes that works.
