I found this trick well-working so I decided to post it here if it helps anyone.

If you dont have dvd-drive in your computer, but your mom/poppa/dog owns one, just share the drive on LAN with windows local area network and your done. Just put the dvd into the drive and then open the networked drive from your computer and run setup.exe. To make the computers see each other, remember to set their workgroup name to exact same, eg. "HOME". It helps to have same version of windows on both of the computers. To share a drive, click it with right mouse bttn and select sharing and dont listen to Windows arguing that sharing a root folder/drive isnt safe.

Hope this hint is useful for someone...
 
I thought you only need the CD-key, then if you need to, install the game over Steam
 
Yeah, downloading is other way, but if you dont have high speed internet (like I) or just want to install the game faster than downloading it.
