Hello
I wasn't sure where to put this topic, since it hasn't got much to do with Ubuntu directly.
Nonetheless, I need to install a program (in due time) from a CD on a laptop without an optical drive.
But I was wondering If it was possible to write the CD's contents on my 16GB USB flash drive and install from that inside Windows 7 on my Virtual Machine.
It was absolutely a cinch I never expected to boot from the USB to install Windows 7, but are there any issues I might run into when installing programs instead of OS's?
Google gave me few answers since most results concerned install on a USB, not from.
