Floppies Suck !

I need to install a program that is on floppies onto my laptop with no floppy drive. The program instists on being installed from floppies. I have tried to copy the files to the hdd and installing. I have also tried to share a floppy drive from another computer over my network.

To add insult to injury there is a demo version of the program that when unzipped makes three directories one for each disk and includes a batch file that must be run to do the install. When I try to just run the setup included with the demo I get an error that setup must be run from the floppy drive.

Here is what the batch file contains
cd .\disk1
setup /p hdd
cd ..
exit

I tried to copy the floppies to the hdd and use the batch file to do the install I get setup must be run from the floppy drive.

Is there a program that would fake out the program I know there are ones that do this for cd-rom but I can't find anything for floppies.
