OK, someone please help me. [installing FFXI]

[Oobgarm]

for got about something simple here:

- If you have extra space on your hard disk drive, try copying the files from FINAL FANTASY XI Discs 1, 2, and 3 into a folder on your hard drive manually, then start installation by double-clicking the "setup.exe" file.

I haven't even gotten that far!

I can't install the PlayOnline viewer, which is required to install the actual game.

I tried to select all/copy the files on the CD to a folder on my HD, and it asks me to insert the CD into the drive. Is there a way around this?
