Did anyone try copying the DVD contents to a folder on HDD and installing from it?
Does it work?
I have the DVD version. Copying 7 DVDs now. My Gaming Desktop doesn't have a DVD drive. I am copying the DVD to folder on laptop.
What options do i have?

YES
According to discussion on this link, it is possible.
I fixed my installation issue by copying the DVD files to a harddrive and then installing from the HDD. It was about 5 times faster and without fail. If you're unable to transfer the files from DVD then it's probably a damaged disk.

When copying pause midway and let the disk cool down. It worked for me because when I did a continuous copy, there were errors.
Copying files from the 7 DVDs to one single folder will make installing easier. No more browse and select DVD or folder 6 times per install.
1If your laptop has access to the internet you can also download it. It's a big download but it's an option. I tried copying the DVDs to my PC but one of them wouldn't read so I had to download the whole game. You can download it here
