Multi Disc Program Installation Problems

[Rich]

I have been trying for the last week to install a couple of programs that have multiple discs. They install properly only when I choose the typical installation but cannot be installed when I choose complete installation. Considering that I have way more harddrive space than anyone should ever need, I prefer to have my programs completely installed so I don't have to keep reaching for a cd every time I turn around.

I have only been using Vista for about a month, however I'm still unable to get a complete installation on this OS. Is there a way to get this accomplished, or am I destined to create disk storage on my desk to keep those program discs at hand?

Any help, links, assistace or kick in pants would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Rich

=============================
Is it possible that your install disks are
dirty or damaged? Are you receiving
errors when you attempt the full install?
Are the programs compatible with Vista?
