>>Two solutions: 1) Buy a CD ROM for your PC....a very good idea as more and more software will be coming on CDROM. 2) Remove the CD ROM from your friend's PC and temporarily install it on your PC.

>Or, MS will sell you the product on Diskette for a small fee. At least, this was there policy in the past. I always thought that there were sub-directories on the CD (DISK1, DISK2, ...) which might allow for copying to floppy disks (1.44). I never had the need to look into it. Well htwh. Steve

As Craig said, the best solution is to buy a CD ROM. They are getting pretty cheap (well, the 2X ones are anyway)....

If memory serves me, I was able to get the 4.0 floppies for free by mailing in a form that came with the software. I don't know about later version(s) though.

Sometimes, the setup stuff is stored as .CAB files which usually fit onto floppies as well....

HTH,
