Try downloading Stardock Central, entering your serial number, then downloading GC2 from there.

Sounds like a bad install disc (there was at least one bad batch pressed). You can return it for an exchange at the store (no guarantee you won't get another bad one, though), or download the entire game via SDC straight to your hard drive. You can get Stardock Central in the downloads section; install it, log in with your forum account, then find GC2 in the Register Products section in the menu and input your serial. You should then be able to download the game.

Read his spec again.
He says he has no modem, and therefore probably can't download stardock central

Most people these days do not have modems installed.
I don't.

He does have internet access, though.
Probably through his NIC, the same as most of us.

And if he posted from a different computer, there are ways around that too. There is a sticky thread about activating the game on a computer with no internet access.
