    Unless your files will compress down to <700megs, you'll need to split them in two. Ideally you shoudl have your installer prompt for disk2 at the 50% mark. The ugly solution would be to just split your installer into a 2part selfextractor burn both parts onto disks. Have the extractor then put the 1gig installer on the clients HD and run it from there. As a user that sort of setup would make me look into your competitors products and use your CDs as coasters if at all possible.

      Just to make sure I'm following correctly this time, you've got VS on 2 cd images that are each <700megs but total 1gig combined. Assuming they're a standard format, what you need is a cd burning program like Nero or EasyCdCreator. There're free ones but I don't know any names off the top of my head. If they're an odd format you might need the program that ripped them but your virtualCD software being able to handle would argue against it.

          Are you sure they're not DVD images? You can't burn something that big onto a CD.

                Burn it onto a DVD. The cost of a DVD writer less than the cost of workarounds. The tigress is here :-D

                  Hi, you can try with split programs; in this case you can find more programs for solve your problem.I, after same experiences, tried "split144", and find it very good. This is because this program is same dos compact file and not search any dll to install. Result is only a batch and your file segmented. Achille

                    I think the OPs goal was to burn the files as functional install CDs so that he would be able to install directly from them without having to clear several extra GB on his HD first. Your solution is only valid for archival purposes.

                      Is same thing; if you've a simple floppy dos, you can split it with batch and try to install image. Into question is not very clear; is not environment,if virtual machine or simple machine, if can boot with other peripherals(flash memory, ecc.), if is into network. After is missing all this responses, i can send only previous information Achille P.S.Is first time that i reply into this forum
