How to copy setup from 2 floppies to 1 CD

I have an old shareware program that takes up 2 floppies. I need to get this onto a CD so that I can install it to a brand new laptop (no floppy drives available.) Unfortunately, if I just copy/paste the files to the CD, they don't work. The installer reports that it cannot open certain key files. Also, the setup file for the program is setup to search the first and then the second floppy disk in the A drive for the installation files.

Are there any known tricks for transferring these types of setup files to a CD-Rom? And I'm in a bit of a crunch in terms of time.

Thanks in advance!
