Here are the instructions I have used with success:
ETKA V5 & V5.3 VW, Audi & Skoda
Parts CD Installation Instructions
*ETKA V5 - All European Volkswagen & Audi models 1947~1998
*ETKA V5.3-All North American Volkswagen, Audi & Skoda models 1947~2001
*The ETKA programs will run only in 1280 x 1024 resolution on a 17" monitor.
You must set your display to this before trying to install. You may be able
to
use a program called Virtual Desktop to run the ETKA programs on systems
without 17" monitors and 1280 x 1024 resolution.
1. After inserting the CD in your CD-ROM drive, open the drive using
Explorer or My Computer (CD doesn't have autostart).
2. Once there you will see a bunch of folders and 2 executables. Run the
one marked Hardlock first (I tried running setup with running hardlock and it
errored out halfway through). You will not see Hardlock do anything on the
screen after running it.
3. After running Hardlock, run the other executable. It is the setup program
for the EPC.
4. Once in the setup program, choose the language you want to use for the
install.
5. The next screen should have a list of install options. If you leave the
first option checked, it will have the minimum HDD impact (70Mb), but you
will need to have the CD in every time you want to use the software. If you
check one of the other install options, you must uncheck CD install. The
other options will install the entirety of the parts catalog onto your HDD
(approx. 350MB. I used CD install and it works fine.)
6. When it gets most of the way through the setup program an error will
appear to the effect of "Another copy of the program is currently running,
please shut it down." (or something like that) Hit cancel to the error
message. It will tell you that the install is complete.
7. Have Fun!!

Windows 2000 tips:
http://www.humanspeakers.com/audi/xxxx.htm
Do a full install on the C: drive, then
1) copy everything EXCEPT the *.INI files from the CD's ET_PROG.NT4
directory to the C:\ET_PROG directory
2) copy LEXHDL5.DLL from the CD's ET_PROG.W95 directory to the
C:\ET_PROG directory
This should work for the CD Installation as well. It appears the problem is
that the Family Album thinks W2K is W95, when it is not. This is the fix.
