Hi all,

I am facing a problem installing a PC software (.exe) into my VPC 6.1.
I inserted an intallation CD (.exe) and that's it...
When I drag the CD icon appeared on my OSX desktop into the VPC Windows, it performs "copy"..

So do you guys have any idea how am i going to install .exe straight away into VPC without going through the "copy"... ??

because windoze does not auto-mount stuff on its deslktop like the Mac does, within your VPC windoze os just go into windoze explorer and browse to the cd drive (which ever letter it happens to be set to (usually "D") and run the setup.exe routine from there. always works for me anyways....
