I've just bought Version 7 (2002) on Ebay which - although not the very
latest prior to opt-out - should be sufficient for my purposes.
It came on 2 CDs - one of which does the software installation, and the
other one holds the data.
The data disk has to be in the CD drive in order to run the program. Has
anyone found a way of copying the data onto a hard drive, and telling the
program where to find it?
I run various versions of UK Info Disk (and many other CD titles) by
copying to hard disk as Virtual CDs. There are a number of
commercial packages which will do this, my favourite being Virtual CD
from H+H Software.
You need to create a virtual CD of the installation CD first, insert
into your chosen virtual drive, and run that to install the software
to hard disk. Then create a virtual CD of the data CD, insert that
into the same virtual CD drive, and it should run. I have three
hard disks, one physical DVD/CD reader/writer, and twenty virtual
DVD/CD drives.
Several of my second-cousins are missing - even though it was pre opt-out
and they must surely have been on electoral registers. Can anyone offer a
logical explanation for this?
The UK Info Disks are fairly cheap and there is much missing data,
even in the pre opt-out versions. I also have other (expensive and
no longer available) sets of the rolls so could run a check for the
missing cousins if you wish?
