It sounds to me like they were using the disk label to identify which disk is in the drive during the install procedure and when it get's to the second disk if can't find the correct label it needs to pass the test.
If the company distributed the software on both multiple CDs and a single DVD, then they would have either written a completely different procedure to handle the issue or they would have somekind of work around that would make it work. Without having access to one of their DVD versions it would be very difficult to know how they might have approached the problem.
If you have the software on 3 CDs it's just easier to leave it that way and not even try to combine them into one DVD. After all, the only time you should ever need them again is if you ever have to re-setup your hard drive and re-install your programs. The only exception is games. Usually, you need to feed one or more CDs/DVDs if it's a real big game, but then it would be smart to buy the DVD version if it's available in the first place.

A small trick will do this job for you. If your are using Windows Xp you can do it. First of all insert your dvd into your drive and start installing from the 1st folder. After the 1st folder installation part is over. Keep the installation in waiting go to my computers using the window button and reassign the dvd to another letter (say originally your dvd drive is g: now change it to x:) Now Map the 2nd folder with the old dvd letter ( say to g:) now switch windows to installation window and press ok the PC will now look into your mapped portion and finds the 2nd folder and installs from it. Repeat the same process by once again mapping the 3rd folder as the old dvd drive( say G:) and again continue installation. Then you will be sucessful. I hope you follow what I stated . Wish you best of luck.

First of all, you should have created links from CD1 through 3 while making the iso image.
One trick that might work, though is for you to eject the DVD and re-insert it, fooling the comp into believing that you loaded the second cd, without booting, of course, and then installing from folder no 2.
Repeat sequence for CD#3 if this works.
All the best.
Cheers

The program was not designed to look in the folder you created for the rest of the information, because it assumes you will be inserting the 2nd CD.
Your only alternative is to use a program like ISOBuster to extract the folders from your DVD and create your own 3-CD set.
