Can AutoDesk Inventor be installed from the hard drive?

[Anonymous]

We are having problems with installing AutoDesk Inventor 2010 from the 6 DVD drives, as this process is becoming laboriously slow. Yesterday we tried 3 times, but used up a whole day.

Can the 6 install disks be copied to the hard drive and used as the install image rather than to depend upon the slow DVD drive to shuttle the data? It is much much faster to read data from the hard drive rather than to rely on the DVD drive.

Thanks for letting us know.

Oh, btw, during install, the program pops a new screen image but erases the progress bar with its messages, so a person has to popup a new install screen to refresh the data in order to get back to the progress bar.

Hi,

You can copy the 6 DVD on the same directory and then install from. During
the copy answer yes if there are already one same file or directory.
You can also create an install image but for 2010 you will have some tricks
depends on how you use Vault.

Franck:

After watching the CD Rom drive struggle, we decided to look at the System events by opening up the Administration Tools on the Control Panel. There were dozens and dozens of Error messages all pertaining to bad blocks on the cdrom. After cleaning up the head, using a head cleaning disc, we decided that there really was a hardware problem with the drive.

This hardware problem slowed the install to very slow speeds and also left holes in the installed program.

Today we totally built an install package on a hard disk folder and successfully installed from that.
