HI.
I think it depends on the game you want to install.
Some could play from CD another should be installed.

It is possible, there are some sites that have edited "No-CD" .EXE files for games.. This is of course assuming you have a legal copy of the game. http://gamecopyworld.com/

However...these sites are beginning to cross over to questionable legality, I've read about some EXE downloads having trojans in them, some of these sites crossover to other "serial crack" sites to distribute games via P2P warez, and you'll probably want to use a safe web browser at these sites since they're known for forcing drive by adware installs on your system.

The safest thing for you to do is to learn to make a proper image of the game, then mount this image on a virtual drive using Alcohol 120% or other suitable daemon.

What he said ^^

I use it for BF2

Daemon tools and Alcohol 120%

Alcohol to create the image and Daemon tools to mount it.

One of the best things since sliced bread
