> I tried to choose the steam option but it didn't detect MCC.

Due to a change in a Steam update, our ability to search its Library folders for MCC broke. Steam changed the location of the file that stores the list of Library folders. I've since implemented a fix, but our Release workflows are broken.

> I instead tried to install an old disc of Halo I had sitting around, put in the CD key, it installed, all good. I start up the executable, install Halo SPV3 and get the words "Your CD key is invalid" and I can't fix that.

The only reasons it wouldn't work after the Loader successfully found your Retail (CD) or Custom Edition license in the Windows Registry is because the no-DRM patch failed to apply to SPV3's haloce.exe. Either the Installer failed to enable the setting in the Loader's config file or the Loader was denied access to haloce.exe. This issue can happen with any Activation method other than the passive detection of Halo Custom Edition's license key in the Windows Registry in which case the DRM patch in unnecessary. In the case of the Loader being denied access to haloce.exe, this is caused by either insuffucient permissions (unlikely) or the file was locked/in-use by another process. You can forcefully unload/unlock haloce.exe via an app like LockHunter or Process Hacker 3.
