Even though it's been there for 3 years, I just now discovered it:
http://kickass.to/bhaktivedanta-vedabase-2003-prabhupada-teachings-complete-iso-t3837841.html
It's a torrent download of the exact image of the VedaBase 2003 CD in the form of an ISO file. "The most important torrent in the world," the description proudly proclaims. :-)
But don't bother downloading ImgBurn and burning it onto a CD. Use a free program called Virtual CloneDrive to create a virtual CD drive instead. After installing Virtual CloneDrive, simply right click on the ISO file and select "Mount (Virtual CloneDrive E:)."

Dear Madhuha Prabhu, Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
It worked! Thank you very much! "Ask and you shall receive." :-)
However, the special Sanskrit diacritic fonts didn't get installed. Therefore, here are a few additional steps which should solve that problem also:
8. Download: <http://causelessmercy.com/fonts/FontsFromVedaBase2003.zip>
Since the "BellCentennial" font is now included in Causelessmercy.com's downloadable fonts, steps 14 and 15 are no longer necessary.
Here are the revised instructions for installing VedaBase 2003 under Windows 8:
1. After the installation hangs or freezes, reboot your PC.
2. Right click on the 'Views' icon in C:\Bhaktivedanta VedaBase 2003\. (Views.exe)
3. Click on "Properties."
4. Click on the "Compatibility" tab.
5. Check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
6. And then choose "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)."
7. Click on "Apply" and then click "OK."
'Ha'ri'boal!

To convert VedaBase diacritics to Unicode, one document at a time, you could use: <http://pratyatosa.com/?P=3w>. Tried that! Just came up with "No changes made"!For a free software download that converts multiple documents in one fell swoop: <http://pratyatosa.com/?P=4r>. dhåtaräñöra uväca

Dear Prabhu,
I'm using Windows and Linux but also know how to use a Macintosh system as well. I've found that on on both Windows and Linux so long as the Balaram font is installed as well as the Vedabase then when diacritic text is copied and pasted into a word processor program, and the Balaram font is selected in the word processor program, then the diacritics show as they should. Problem solved! Probably if an email is sent with diacritic text it might not display properly unless the recipient has the Balaram font. So, does Unicode make it unnecessary to have the required font? If so is there any Unicode font that is available on at least most platforms that would display the diacritics properly? That's one issue. The other issue is with regards to text-to-speech technology. Thus far there is no text-to-speech technology that can read Sanskrit, Bengali, Roman diacritics as well as English. So, out of sheer frustration I've discovered that American English text-to-speech software can speak the diacritic texts when edited phonetically. It works very well. But there's a heck of a lot of diacritics to edit! Too much for little old me. And, I'm not (at least at this stage) a programmer. I'm an editor. So, it's open as to who and what will do either the editing of the entire Vedabase phonetically for reading by American English text-to-speech software and/or do the programming for the multilanguage text-to-speech software necessary for reading the Vedabase. If you have/do managed to get your computer reading the Vedabase please let everyone (and me) know. Especially users of the Vedabase. That would be very much welcome and appreciated. Time will tell. Wishing well always...
Kind regards,
'B'huck'ta'vutt'sa'la 'Das'ji ('B'huck'ta Brentji) ;-)
