Nero 6 Ultra won't install

I'm trying to install my retail copy of Nero 6 Ultra after a reformat and
reinstall of Windows. I have installed this CD before with no problems at
all, it went smooth as silk. Now, it just sits there in my DVD/CDRW drive
and hangs the installation. And freezes Windows and Windows Explorer solid.
I've let it sit there for twenty minutes at a time with no change. The
drive light indicates the drive is working, but Nero won't install at all.
The serial number is correct, an incorrect number won't get you to the next
installation screen. Has this happened to anyone else? Ideas are
appreciated.

Things may have changed but when I did my install there was free
installation help for Nero. It is either a toll free number in your
documents, or an e-mail address. As long as it's free, why not avail
yourself for help from the software developer?

Maybe the install cd is damaged? Do a ScanDisc of Nero CD-DVD Speed:

Mike Richter - the Slimiest Lying Friggin SOB (UDF)
================================================== =

The slimiest lying friggin SOB Mike Richter has been for YEARS
blaming the UDF -- to weasel out the bugs of DirectCD:

------------------------------------------
UDF is a fragile format
UDF is an unreliable format

the format is very fragile and unreliable
The format is bad - it loses data
The fault is not with the software but with the format

There is an inherent problem in UDF
Packet writing is the same as UDF.

I have used only DCD for packet writing,
have had no problems due to the software
- but too many due to the format itself

to bother with it any longer.

But then again:

I have used UDF for many years, but yesterday I had my first
corruption. I am now wondering whether to bother with UDF

First, your problem is not with UDF
