You misunderstood the question. I am not trying to recover the key from the cd nor an installation. The key is embedded in the cdkey.mpq file that I generated using onlyer's cdkey generation program. I typed in the original key and it generate the cdkey.mpq file. Now I want to do the reverse operation, extract the original key from the cdkey.mpq file on my hard drive. Showcdkey reveals the resulting key inside the cdkey.mpq file, but not the key that is typed on the cd sleeve.
