Is it possible to copy all files directly from the dvd's to a harddrive, and then install FSX from the harddrive?

As I recall, I initially copied the contents of each DVD into it's own folder. The install stopped and asked for the 2nd DVD. At that time I copied the contents of the 2nd DVD folder into the first's folder and the install completed. So, just copy the contents of BOTH DVD's into one folder on your hard drive. Also, if you have the Deluxe version, you can install the SDK and TrafficTools from the HD as well. Paul

Thanks !!

Hmmm I tried the whole copy to the HD thing and it did not work at all for me. What was wierd for me for the install was that I had my roommates dvd player in and the install would crap out right around installing the first file. I couldn't figure it out.I thought maybe a bad dvd disc, but before I was going to take it back for a exchange I tried it in my roommates dvd burner. Well behold it installed on his machine with no problems.So I swapped out his dvd player with the burner and it installed without a hitch. Just really freaking wierd.

Works fine. Just create an empty folder on your desktop, copy andpaste ALL the files from both CD's into it. Then initiate the installfrom that folder and it will run the whole thing without pausing.
