What's the best practice for creating multi-CD setups? What I did under Wise was check for the presence of a folder on the installation media, and if it wasn't there I prompted the user to insert a second CD, after using the "Allow Floppy Disk or Media Change / Close Install File" script command.

With InstallAware, your best approach is to do a web build, and separate your setups into web media blocks so that some blocks are on one CD, and others are in another. Use a MessageBox command to prompt for a disk change when you are entering a new web media block command, and use Does File Folder Exist to make sure the block exists on the inserted CD, before proceeding into the block. This way all of your setup will run from CD and never try to do a web download (even though its a web build).
