i started a new thread about this, not knowing about this one..
i too had no probs with the shade media mounting and installing [and also there is no serial number...; ^(] is that like a catch 22, where you need to register to get the serial, and need the serial to register???...lol

the application and bonus cd's do not mount, even after cleaning the media and the cd drive..i haven't tried multiple inserts, tho'...
you might be able to get it to mount on a network system and copy the whole disk onto the troubled machine and try installing that way, it did here[but i'm not too pleased with having to go that route...i read that someone else tried on 3 machines and it didn't work.
