CS3 installs properly until CD4 shows the summary that only shared components is installed???

hello,

recently have uninstall (remove) cs3 master collection reinstall different serial number, because old serial expired.
(for record, have legal version of master collection , running vista 32 bit).

i remove adobe related programs , restart computer. , start reinstall whole cs3 master collection packet.

-> first cd spinning 30min, asking 2end cd.
-> put second cd in tray, spinning 10min, asking 3th cd.
-> put 3th cd tray, spinning 15min.
-> asks fourth cd, put tray, close tray, cd starts spinning , summary appear , says shared component installed , none of selected software flash,ps,il,encore,...?

what f***...

i start searching on net. find thousands way fix problem nothings works.
i not understanding this, because master collection software have run on same pc previously, there can't hardware problem.
here few links have search information.

serial numbers on legitimate versions don't expire. said, if
indeed legal version, call adobe. installation issues handled
free of charge.
