Using NIS 2011 CD I can't enter the new product key

I have PC on XP professional and tried to install NIS 2011 from CD purchased off Amazon.  It wanted to uninstall prior Norton security but took forever so I stopped it.  It appears to have uninstalled most of my applications.  Windows Installer keeps popping up trying to install various applications but errors out "can't find required file".  I can't open most of my applications i.e. Microsoft Word, Excel, Adobe products, printer/scanner software and many other applications.  When I try to access my internet browser, I have to hit the cancel button several times to cancel the Windows Installer attempts to install various software.  I uninstalled Norton but that didn't work either.  I downloaded and tried running REGSERVO program to fix registry issues but it didn't help.  Now when I try to install NIS 20110from the CD I can't type some of the required letters in the product key.  Any idea what I can do to fix this?
