DVD Disk 2 not recognized during install.

Question

I am trying to install X-Plane 10 from the DVD. Disk 1 loads properly and then prompts to load disk 2, but when I insert disk 2 into the drive, it is not recognized by the installer, and the Windows explorer app opens up showing the  contents of disk 2. I have used the installer on the DVD, as well as the new installer downloaded from Laminar's web site.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Have you ever used this set of DVD's before?  Maybe there are fingerprints or smudges on Disc 2.  You might try cleaning the DVD.  Sometimes it takes 20-30 seconds for the installer to recognize a disc.
