Title: Can I make a 2 cd/dvd installer into a simple disc free installer?
Post by: sirgilmour on December 21, 2015, 02:13:54 PM
Lets take any program that says insert disc 2 to continue installation in the middle of the process.
Can i simply use a software and put an iso of disc 1 and 2 in it and trick the installer into believing i put disc 2 in without even opening the cd tray once.

Why?
If you are a system administrator with hundreds of PCs to update over a local network , you would already know how to do it.
The forum can not help you with some kind of trick that would circumvent copyright protection for a single user installing the same software on multiple PCs.

Now if you can provide a clear example of why you must have this, somebody might help you.

Power Iso did the trick.

It was for a music software that I was tired of looking for in my disc library, also i was worried at some point the disc would be too scratched to be correctly read so i wanted to put it on my pc for that matter.
 
What i did was to put both iso on my hdd, power iso can mount both isos as a cd/dvd drive example: K:/ and after installing the 1st disc from that letter, when i got to the message "please insert disc 2" I unmounted the K:/ drive and mounted the second iso as the K:/ drive, then i pressed "ok" on the "insert disc" screen and voilą.
