In DVD1 folder, put both Data1.cab & Data2.cab. Along with Redist folder which has Directx subfolder, Launcher subfolder, vcredist_x64.exe, vcredist_x86.exe. The Directx folder you can copy from any game the latest version. The Launcher subfolder contains NCsoftLauncherSetup.exe ( which has link at top of post 1 ). then the vcredists which you should have already.

DVD2 folder contains Data3.cab & Data4.cab.

Be prepared for 2+ hour install, because of the freearc, precomp, srep compression. Then once starting game be prepared for 24hr+ update!!

IMHO, complete waste of time in compressing the game this much, easier & faster to burn to couple extra dvd's, relatively cheap. The biggest drawback is the game update from korea servers is extremely slow.
