Has anyone installed Encarta reference library 2002 on a network. The Network administrators guide on the first CD says to copy the contents of all the CD's to a folder on a server. I have done that and was then able to map a drive to that folder and run the install program on a workstation. So far everthing is going great. The problem I have is when I start using the program and it wants a different disk. How do I tell the program that all the info is in that one folder? I searched technet and found nothing, I even called microsoft, but they wanted $240 to put me through to their tech support.

My experience with other apps...'Choices' comes to mind (it's an app that lets students find info about various career paths) was to run the setup on the server to a folder I created on the server and then give read rights to those students that needed access to it. Mind you I'm running it off a Netware server so it may be different in your case, but nonetheless it saved me from having to run the setup on each workstation.
