I have them downloaded but didn't try combining them yet. Reading the instructions I can see where the confusion might come from
http://www.ni.com/download/ni-device-drivers-august-2015/5568/en/
C:\National Instruments Downloads\NI Device Drivers\Aug15.
So to me this sounds like you should extract all 3 the the same folder "C:\National Instruments Downloads\NI Device Drivers\Aug15". Then you'll have all the media extracted in one place, and I would expect running the setup would take care of finding all the parts. This was the steps I had done (and complained about) 6 months ago. I hate to admit it but I kinda like the Web install for Feb 2015. I haven't seen one for Aug 2015 yet, but it allowed me to pick the things I wanted to download, like LabVIEW, device drivers, FPGA, Real-Time, and then I had all of it in one place and running one setup would find all the components needed.

I think you may be missing the point. If you look at a multi-DVD NI Distribution Kit, each DVD contains a self-contained set of folders for Distributions. When you start the Install from Setup (which is only on the first DVD), you "choose" everything you need, and then off it goes, looking for the files to install in a folder called Distributions. If it is part of a multi-DVD set, and you need to install something from another DVD, you'll get the "Insert Medium" message.
LabVIEW 2015 can be obtained on a single (large) USB Flash Drive. All of the folders for all of the Products and all of the Device Driver DVDs are contained on this one "device", so once you have all the required folders in the single Distributions folder, there are no requests to Insert Medium.
If, however, you download 3 DVD images and extract them to three different sets of folders, you will be in exactly the predicament you seem to be having. What I suspect you have are three disk images in three Windows File Folders. Had you been able to extract them to disks, when you got the "Insert Medium" message, you could pop out Disk 1 and put in Disk 2, but if they are separate folders on your hard drive, that's hard to do.
Two solutions (one you've already gotten, but I suspect you didn't exactly follow):
One (or both) of these suggestions should work.

I recently posted a thread where I found an issue and describe how to fix it. Basically the installer thinks there are two volumes and some installers are on the second volume. By editing or replacing a few text files you can convince the installer that all subinstallers are on the same volume.
