Hi James

This would be the task of the hosting company to make it available or are
you doing something without their consent?

Can the files from the CD be copied across?

Thanks John,

My hosting company (and it is usual) only purpose Express version. But I can
do as I want with my server. So, Yes, I can send files from a CD/DVD.

So, is it possible to install the standard version from files upload (FTP)
on my server ?
I thought the system need the media (CD/DVD) on a local driver, because of
the piracy...???

Hi

You could try this locally if you want, just copy the whole CD into a
directory and kick of the setup. Transferring the files you may want to use
zip or winrar or an ISO image if you have one.

Could your hosting company not put a USB device onto the server to allow you
to install from DVD?
