I have a new program that I'm trying to install on my desktop. The problem is that the Software is in DVD format and my desktop does not have a DVD reader. I'm trying to avoid buying an External DVD just to install this already expensive software. I, however have a DVD reader on my laptop. Is there anyway to use it as and external devise to load this program onto my desktop?

You could map a drive to the DVD on the laptop and run the install thru there.

OR

You could then copy the files to the PC from the DVD via the network and runn the install from there.

OR

You could copy the install files to a USB drive and attach it to the PC when you're done copying it. THen run the install.

Best of luck
