Installshield receives a “Insert Disk 2” request, etc.

Question

I am using the basic MSI installation.

I am trying to get a drive to ask for "Insert next drive," which will then continue for the user to insert the next drive, and then continue with the installation.

Here is my setup:

• DVD1: install
• DVD2: media content 1 (there is content for copying to one folder as installation)
• DVD3: Media Content 2

I managed to use the Installshield wizard, which allows you to use the disk. I installed it in Manual and indicated the files where they should be. After going through this process, I am left with three (3) folders called "DISC1", "DISC2" and "DISC3".

I burned the first disc, expecting that everything would work fine, and so that he would prompt me as soon as he finds out that there is content trying to copy something that is not on this disc .. but instead ... it gives an error saying, that he cannot find the contents on disk (surprise!)

I was wondering what am I doing wrong so far? Does anyone have the same problem?

thank
