How to Install Dragon NaturallySpeaking without DVD?

Several lightweight notebook computers do not have an optical drive to save weight.

Various applications, such as Microsoft Office, can be downloaded and installed without an optical drive. However, other software, such as Dragon Medical Practice Edition or Dragon NaturallySpeaking, require the use of an optical drive to install from their DVD media.

Dragon, on the other hand, may be installed without DVD media.

Copy the contents of the Dragon DVD media to a USB memory stick (with a minimum 4 GB capacity) or a computer connected to the ultrabook via a network connection using another computer with an optical drive.

Insert the USB memory stick into the ultrabook or connect to a network drive with a copy of the Dragon DVD. Start the setup.exe program. The installation should go well.
