Is there a way to create a DVD of the software once it is downloaded?

[Jason_S]

I downloaded both ACA and Revit Arch from the subscription site. I am however not able to create a DVD from these files once unzipped from the EXE format. Is there a way to do this? The IT Guys hate having all these files sitting on the server.

Thanks for the help.

The downloaded installer files will need to be in a single location to run them. If you put them on a DVD this would be a suitable Backup medium but not good to run the installer from. I'd suggest a USB thumb drive.

so then what is the way to extract the files to the
USB drive?

You will want to extract the archive or copy the resultant contents to the USB device. Check my posting here:

Thank you. I extracted the EXE to a location then tried to burn it to a DVD. It starts fine from the DVD but has a message to install disk 1 blah blah blah, once you hit the install or create deployment options. I will us a thumb drive instead to keep the server free of these files and please the IT department.

Thanks again for the help.

Hi,

When you burn the DVD you must indicate a
name.

Search setup.ini in the directory of the
product.

Open it and search disk_label=

Then you have the name of the DVD.

Then It never ask for disk1 or 2.
