Where did you get this file from. How does it install now?

You can't split the file that way. The Install routine has to be programmed to look for another disk.

If we know more about the file, we may be able to suggest an alternative.

I brought this Adobe installer, but when I run it to my CD rom it can't be read, I guess the installer is a DVD disc because it 1.xGB so I want to burn it separately into 2 700MB disc for my CDrom to read...

Someone advice me to use winrar compress to SFX... What do you think...

I agree with Scott and I don't think it can be done.

Also if you can't read the DVD in the first place - how do you plan on getting the information off it to burn anyway?!?

I'd agree with Tommy - just buy a cheap DVD drive. A lot of games & programs come out on DVD nowadays so it would be worth the cost.

Hmmm, Most Adobe products are pretty expensive. Much less than a DVD drive would be.

But the bottom line, is you can't do anything with to automate the install onto CD from DVD. What you might be able to do is contact Adobe and ask if its possible to get the program on CD. Usually companies will do that for free or a nominal fee.

If you are looking to create a backup, you can split the install into 2. But you will need to restore to your hard drive and run from there to install.
