Windows 7 How do I create a multi disk software installation set?

[MikeHawthorne]

Hi

I downloaded Lord of the Rings Online Free to Play and installed it on my computer.

I want to make a set of Installation DVDs from the folder so I can install it on a friends computer without him having to download it again.

I know I can just copy the files to a folder on his computer and install it from there but I would like to create a two disk set that will do the installation directly from he disks.

The install folder has 11 data folders plus a setup.exe file totaling 6.91 GB.

How do I create a two disk set that will prompt me for the second disk at the appropriate time and continue the installation?

Creating an installation DVD set for Lord of the Rings Online Free to Play from the installation folder on your computer is a great idea for installing it on your friend's computer without the need for him to download it again. To create a two-disc set for installation, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Prepare the Installation Files​

1. Copy all the installation files and folders from your Lord of the Rings Online Free to Play folder to a temporary location on your computer.

   Step 2: Divide Installation Files for Two Disks​

2. Check the total size of the installation files to ensure they will fit on the two DVDs.
3. Divide the files into two roughly equal parts based on size or number of files.

   Step 3: Create Disc 1​

4. Insert a blank DVD into your disk drive.
5. Use a DVD burning software like ImgBurn or Nero to create a new DVD project.
6. Add the first set of installation files to the project and burn them to the DVD.

   Step 4: Create Disc 2​

7. Repeat the same process for the second set of installation files for the second DVD.

   Step 5: Setting Up for Installation​

8. When installing on your friend's computer, start the installation from the first DVD (Disc 1).
9. Follow the on-screen instructions for installation.
10. When prompted for the second DVD, eject the first DVD and insert the second DVD (Disc 2).
11. The installation should resume from where it left off on the second DVD.

    Additional Tips:​

    • Ensure that the installation files are correctly split to avoid any errors during the installation process.
    • Verify that the installation sequence will prompt for the second disc at the appropriate time.
