How can I instal from CD instead of Steam. Help

So how can I instal from CD instead of Steam. Why the F did I even buy CD's if I can't instal from them and I'M FORCED to instal from Steam instead (download). It's annoying and it takes ages because there are to many people downloadin'..... Jesus this is some dumb idea.

Ok guys I came up with solution for this. If your game buggs up and it starts downloading (It should not) Because this is a STEAM bugg, all you need to do is.

"Pause all downloads"
"Go to library"
"Right click on Skyrim icon there"
"And Delete all local content"
After this go to "My computer, right click on your DvD file it's /:E for me might be something else for you, and just Press Run/Instal or what ever it says"

Remember you need to stay logged in all the time in steam to do this otherwise it will bugg up again.

This took me two tries to get it working. And it's fine now, just keep trying. All you need to download is around 250 MB patch- AFTER your instalation gets done.

Hope this helps.

Sorry for typos and bad grammar.

Yeah something like that, But I tried to close steam and it didn't work, but after I haven't log off it was all fine.

Can one of the mods put up the instructions? The more people know this, the less Steam servers will be overloaded and they can actually just download the important 200MB patch.
