I placed the CD in the drive and nothing happened?

In most instances, placement of the CD in the drive will initiate installation. If this does not happen, you can directly begin the installation by running x:setup.exe from the Start button replacing the letter X with the letter of the drive in which you placed the CD.

I clicked on Install Products from Family CD and nothing happened?

This button actually runs the real installation program (setup.exe). In some instances it is necessary to run setup.exe directly from the start button.
