Load one by one with the IMG loading software under DOS. Or extract all with winimg to one file and then setup, but maybe need to modify the installation batch file.

You can extract all ima files (using the software winimage), and put them in the same directory. (They can be stored separately as DISK1, DISK2..., or in the same installation directory. Try which one works, depending on the installation program itself.) Before installation, execute the external command SUBST.EXE A: D:\install in DOS (virtualize the install folder on drive D as drive A). Then the operation on drive A during installation will become the operation on the files in the D:\install folder. Don't forget to come back and share your experience if the operation is successful.
