Hiya I would like to copy the CATIA installation CD's to a server and install from the network but, if I create two folders, CD1 and CD2, then copy the contents of the CD's into them, I can't install from the folders! the CATIA installation still asks to insert the second CD and there is no option to browse to the folder on the server how do I get around this? thanks Anth

Just name your folders 1 & 2 (ie. just number the folders) and it should work

and if you want to install Service Packs from server then AFAIK this will not work. This you can ommit by using windows' subst command. Just call directory with SP's CD1 as e.g. CD1, and CD2 as CD2. Then make: subst X: U:\CD1 (where X: is the new drive, and U:\ is your server share on the PC, where you want to install CATIA, and CD1 is the directory where CD1 of SP is ) and install SP from X:\ drive When installation program asks you for the second CD run commands: subst X: /D subst X: U:\CD2 After finishing the installation run: subst X: /D /Krz

Hi, There is another simple workaround. I learned it at work from my IT folks back in 2004. Say you want to install R19 on 64-bit windows 1. Create a folder "R19" or whatever you want to name it 2. Copy the last CD's contents in it first which is cd-3 <------LAST CD FIRST 3. Then copy contents and overwrite with cd-2 4. Then copy contents and overwrite with cd-1 Now you can install it from"R19" folder and it'll never ask you to insert cd anymore.

That's nice solution. :-) Have you tried that with Service Packs? /Krz

I can back up Samarinder on this one...we just copy the code (we don't even look at the order of the CD's!) from the CD's to a single directory, and overwrite any duplicate files. It seems Dassault includes duplicate files with each CD, not sure why? Good luck! ~Joe
