Unload windowblinds first ..just to be safe, then:

When you load the cd into your drive, choose "open folder to view files" ...then navigate to the folder on the (cd) disc where you saved all your windowblinds files, and open that folder. Highlight all the windowblinds (folders) files inside, using edit/select all. Then use the "copy to" or "move to" function to navigate to the windowblinds folder on your computer, typically (assuming your hard drive letter is C) C/program files/stardock/objectdesktop/windowblinds.

Click ok, once you've found that folder, and you should be good to go. You should see a progress animation, showing you that they are moving across.

Restart windowblinds when you've done that, and they should appear where they're meant to be...

Hope that helps (and works for you)

...Each windowblind needs to be inside it's own specific folder, and it's each of those folders that need to go back to the directory I showed you above. (just clarifying ~after I took a look at my own)

Of course, you could also do this one by one ~manually, by using the "install skin from disc" feature of windowblinds ...but if you have a lot of skins (like me) it's a bit tedious. You would just navigate to the folder on the CD disc where you backed up your blinds
