According to discussion on this link, it is possible.
I fixed my installation issue by copying the DVD files to a harddrive and then installing from the HDD. It was about 5 times faster and without fail. If you're unable to transfer the files from DVD then it's probably a damaged disk.

Suggestion
When copying pause midway and let the disk cool down. It worked for me because when I did a continuous copy, there were errors.
Copying files from the 7 DVDs to one single folder will make installing easier. No more browse and select DVD or folder 6 times per install.

If your laptop has access to the internet you can also download it. It's a big download but it's an option. I tried copying the DVDs to my PC but one of them wouldn't read so I had to download the whole game. You can download it here
