Default Trying to install Titanium disc ...getting so many errors

I tried installing EQ Titanium today, but getting file and path errors when trying to create a path for install. I am using Windows 7 if that helps, when I receive message to install disc 2 in the path window just "D:" appears ,do I need to use a file in that directory? I tried using a different path using "C:" and using browser to pick a file but that doesn't seem to work either. I keep getting the same error "file or path cannot be found". I was able to install game but I had to keep clicking on "try again" when getting error, it eventually let me load next cd, but game wouldn't run kept getting an error saying something to the affect of needing ".exe" in the file trying to run EQ. I am sure I missed something and did something completely wrong, can't figure out what though. Have tried installing the game 3 times now keep getting same errors. What path do I need to use while installing disc? Site says try using "C:EQEmu" as path but I am not using that file nor do I have it, do I need it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using Daemon Tools? i'm no pro at that program but i had the same issue. I had to Alt Tab and mount and unmount each disc. Then it would automatically run the next disc.

You have the .iso files right? You have to mount the next .iso with your virtual CD drive then point the setup prompt to that virtual drive to continue.

The installation folder is where the game files are being installed on your hard drive. C:\EQP99 or whatever you want to name it is much better than C:\Program Files, which is the default location for the setup.

protip: once you set up P99 in your C:\EQP99 or whatever you call it folder and patch it copy the entire folder to a flash drive for backup for future installs. You just need folder to play, no reason to go through the whole reinstall process just drag and drop.

I actually was able to get the disc set from a friend. That's is why I am somewhat confused, I thought it would be an easy clean install with the actual disc. That's why I was asking about what path I should use, I assumed it would locate the path needed.

so the first install box with an option you can choose is this one:

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The second one you run into is this one, which sounds like the box you're getting.

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

At this point you need to put the second CD in the drive and click the OK button, this will happen each time it wants to swap CDs.

Yes, that is the box I am getting, when I click ok is when the errors start, is that normal? BTW thanks Ele and Ashintar for the response

If you've inserted the second disk, then errors are not normal. When you put in the second disk are you able to access it outside of the install program, such as going to file explorer and expanding the CD drive?

Well didn't work. Error is: C:\Users\XXXX45\Dekstop>start eqgame patchme
Message was: Windows cannot find 'eqgame'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. The X's in the error script is my first name.
