    The suggestion given by Dan is the best way. Alternatively u may use magicdisc (freeware) to read from ISO file. You can mount the ISO file onto the virtual disc drive (magicdisc) and install the programs as you do normally from a DVD/CD.

Rip the DVD to your computer to create an ISO file. You can do this is most DVD/CD authoring software. Transfer this ISO to your computer without the DVD drive and open it using Daemon Tools Lite. Its free. Look at the link below to download.
