Odd. Mine seems to work alright... though I got my CD backup off BitTorrent...

Yes. I need different INSTALL FILES. I don't know where to get them.

This may sound stupid but you're not INSTALLING the game into the folder then burning that to DVD are you?

I mean "copy" the contents of each CD in turn into the same folder then burn the whole lot.

Hehe. Sorry mate. Had to be sure. Would appear I can't help you with this as it worked alright for me (and my version).

Works from HD, but when I put on DVD - it asks for CD2 and cannot find data in the directory for CDs (even though its there) when I press OK.

I stand corrected, mate. I've just tried installing from DVD and it gives me the same error. Although you can burn to DVD as I described above, you'll need to copy all the files to HD first for you to install without the prompt.

Sorry about that.
