D2 Original Install

After much finagling, I finally got D2 LOD to install and run on my (definitely not work) computer without a disc. The only problem is that I ended up with version 1.14 to get it to work.

I have wanted to replay the original classic D2 at release level install. I can get it installed and running on my PC, but I need to leave the disc in. Does anybody here know how to do an install to run the unpatched D2 without a disc. And also without using Bnet for the digital download. That only gave me headaches without progress when trying to get LOD to work.

Edit: I have the physical discs and

Key.

Have you tried burning the contents of the D1 disc to an .ISO file and mounting that - so that your PC thinks the CD-ROM is present?

I did see that when I was trying to get LOD working. Forgot about it. Thanks, I'll check it out.

Can't you just get the 1.14c or d patch without doing it now? It'e been a few years since i launched legacy d2.. I think you can just download the patch now from blizzard or online..
