Is the version on the CD just a .SIT file or three .IMG files? I've had
issues with the version on unna that was the single installer. To get NCU
installed on my systems I had to download the 3 floppy disk images, mount
all three at the same time and run the installer from the 1st disk image. I
haven't done this in OS 9 in a long time, but I believe it worked.

Download the disk images from the link below and see if you have better luck
