The errors tells it all. You don't have file layout.bin. Try and download another installation for the game.

ouch looks like your cd may be scratched or something
it hurts your wallet but you could buy thief2 again and download from GOG.com (not sure if they have thief2 though,

If you already bought it, I see no problem getting the game by other means.  So yeah.

well, as a matter of fact i have the official thief series original, but CDs are scrached, so i used torrent to get them(i think it is legal)

but i took some studies and looks like the Thief 2 isos are to small, they are misssing a lot of data, so i am downloading it from other source

That is still technically illegal as you help others who have not bought the games attain them when you torrent.

Isos compress data into a smaller file, it doesn't mean it's missing anything.
What you need to do is unpack your iso into a folder and then run the installer
