I couldn't find a forum for this question and haven't had any luck at the msdn forums so I figured I'd try here. I am using VS2005's Setup Project to make an installer to deploy my software. I found everything I need in documentation and everything works perfectly except for one thing and I'm not even sure it's possible since I've found nothing on it. For one of the options to install additional features, the data files are about 1.5 GB and I would rather have those loaded from a DVD than embed those in the installer and make it huge.

How do I tell my .msi/setup project to load files from the CDROM drive when a certain condition is met? I've looked all over for how to do this and have found nothing.

If you can't answer this question directly or this is not the appropriate forum, please direct me to a more suitable place or a way to find the answer. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
