I might have figured what is wrong with the code. I typed it in using Caps Lock and the numbers above the keyboard (so, not Numpad), after having failed in lower case or using Numpad. It seems it's somehow different. Perhaps this might help future users.

Some troubleshooting: - After mounting the iso and running autorun.exe If you get the "Error 1721" message after the installer finishes then reverts the install back, change the compatibility of autorun.exe to "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)", it will finish installing this time.
- The game normally requires a CD and will check for one, but gamecopyworld.com has a no CD patch that replaces "PMA_W32_M.exe" in the installation folder which fixes this.
- The code E27P-896A-7M2C-K7MF-HRLD in the comments personally worked for me, don't know why it hasn't for the other commenter.

Every couple of weeks or so I come to see if there's a new code or a better way of running it on Windows 10 because Zane's code doesn't work at all.

The game requires a code from the manual which I cannot find. Would really love to play this game again!

TENGO ESTE CODIGO DE CUANDO LO COMPRE EN EL 2005 A MI ME SIRVE PERO NO PUEDO JUGAR EN WINDOWS 10 :( PRUEBEN SI LES DA
dont bother downling this from here get it on a emulator or soemthing else this game has too many checks for a cd
I see a lot of people here stumped on how to play this, so to remedy this I have found a working, no cd patch of this game that will hopefully work for you guys too: https://archive.org/details/pac-man-world-3-portable-version
