Do you mean that your install spans multiple CDs? If not why else would you be inserting new product CDs during an install.

Our product work on top of WASND . So we are using 2 CDs.
1st CD contains our product and 2nd CD contains WASND.
If WASND is not already installed in the system. We need to put the 2nd CD inbetween to install WASND and then proceed with 1st CD.

Could you setup an action to search for the existence of WASND, if it's there then the install will continue, if it's not there then it will prompt you for the 2nd CD.

We have user input panel to choose "Use exsiting WASND" or "Install WASND Now".
If the user choose "Install WASND Now" options then the installer prompt for 2nd CD .
In Linux OS , I am not able to remove the first CD and put 2nd CD to install WASND. Getting "Device Busy" Error Message.(in windows,i can able to remove the 1st CD and put the 2nd).
So i am looking for some way to unlock the CDROM drive during installation.
