Installing Mac OS 7.5.3 from SMI disk image

Hi,

I have the Mac OS 7.5.3 set of parts of the SMI disk image here (in my (language) case 17 disk-sized parts of the image). When double clicking the first part (named .smi, having the appropriate icon), nothing visible happens, no error message.

When I open Disk Copy 6.3.3 manually, and choose "Mount image" there, pick the above file, it starts mounting it (progress bar is shortly visible), then errors with "The Process DiskSet operation did not complete (-9) 'System 7.5.3 CD Inst.' cannot be used with the currently installed version of the disk image driver."

What's wrong?

This is on an SE/30 with System 7.1 installed, including Thread Manager.
