Capture of standalone CD
Submitted by alanm101 on 3 July, 2008 - 05:02.

I have several sets of software for classroom use ranging from 5 CDs to 25 CDs, depending on licenses. I have now tried different ways of capturing the CDs, from iso and creating a virtual CD drive using SVS but always come back asking to please insert CD into your drive, or the virtual drive vanishes in to thin air. Have I missed some thing!!

is the problem that you're asked to switch/change CDs during capture or that after capture the virtualized app is asking you for the CD when you try and run it?

Thanks for replying.
It’s after the capture of the virtualized app and you run it, it is asking for the CD! I have installed the whole of the contents for capture to a folder in C:\program files and run the .exe file from there which did not ask for the CD, when I first run the capture program though and after it would ask for the CD to be loaded and failed to carry on. I then started again trying to capture from the Root (C:) and once again did not ask for the CD and just run fine. When you run the program again it just asks for CD when it runs. I have checked in the folders of the CD and the hard drive but can't find any reference to the CD drive.
I hope this helps, Thanks

Try copying all of the contents of each cd locally in the same directory. Alot of the times I've found that it only asks for the CD if it can't find a specific file. Sometimes there is a file on each cd that specifies the specific cd having that in the same folder can sometimes trick it too. Good luck.
