No CD drive

Does anyone know how to run Dungeon Siege on a machine with no CD drive? I'd like to be able to host a game on one of my rackserver machines that has no floppy, no CD/DVD so that I can operate more characters in MP than I have desktops. The game installs OK, dxdiag confirms that the machine has the required video support, but the game won't start using the same networked drive that I installed from.

My recollection of the Windows C/C++ functions available is that a network drive is distinct from a CD drive, even when it is one. Presumably this is to prevent someone from ejecting a single folder on a drive, when only partly mapped.

I'd prefer a legitimate "no cd" method as the alternatives are likely to include other "unwanted features". The intent is to run from a CD on another machine, rather than to eliminate it entirely.
