ProE Install from downloaded .zip file without cutting to CD?

I believe it is possible to install ProE using the downloaded .zip files without cutting to a set of CDs, but how do you point it at the 2nd, 3rd, etc disks when it expects a CD change?

Thanks in advance,

On installation, when it asks for the next disks, it usually defaults to
the path of the first disk, so I just change the "1" to a "2" in the
path and so on.

Usually the first thing I do is create a custom installation which
basically lets you pick and choose all your options and then dumps that
into one installation folder. That way I only have to run through the
disk selection once.

After that I use the -uitrail command to create an installer. Do a
search on PTC Support and it should show a TPI or "Suggested Practice"
of how to do this.

Extract all of the zip files to the same folder on your PC.
When you run the installer, it won't ask for the extra discs.

When extracting discs 2 and on, you'll be prompted about what to do with some duplicate files.
It doesn't matter. Skip or overwrite. They are identical.
