Installshield to repackage Cd Discs?

Hi, I have some games that span over multiple cd discs. One game might be
4cds and another 5cds. It's getting annoying. I would like to backup the
game Disc sets into 1 DVD disc. And retain the same functionality and no
lack of performance as when they were on separate CDS. Can I do this with
INSTALLSHIELD or similar packaging software. If Installshield can do it,
then how?? Thanks.

InstallShield or Wise is much too expensive a product just to save
yourself the annoyance of swapping CDs. If the game in question is an
MSI, then you can use a free editor like Orca to manipulate the Media
table to store all the cabs on one DVD. In most cases, you will still
need the original play disc to play the game. The DVD will not contain
the information the game is looking for to launch the application.

Hi Aaron,
Thanks, does it mean that Installshield or Wise can combine
the 4CDs game set into a single DVD?? I already have Installshield V7, how
do I do it?? Can I put the 4cds into a single DVD including the Play disk
and run everything from the newly created DVD?? How do I do it with
Installshield. Thanks.
