Installing 3.5 disk pgm on a new Vista laptop

I got a new Vista laptop with a DVD-burner only...will read CD's...How do I install
a brand new, still packaged, (old) program that comes on a 3.5 disk? ... without
resorting to finding an old external 3.5 drive?....Is there a way to copy the five
installation disks using my old computer (with a 3.5 drive) to a CD, so as to install
the program off the CD, onto the new laptop? ... I tried several ways, (Control Panel,
etc), but Microsoft apparently doesn't allow copying of all the .DLL files from one
medium to another....Short of trying to find an external 3.5 drive, is there a particular
procedure for making this conversion onto a CD that will work for me?....I have a
number of other old programs on 3.5 that I'd like to keep, also.... Thanks for your
help!
