I downloaded from msdn subscriber downloads the iso images for SQL Server
2008 both enterprise and standard editions and made to dvd's by isobuster.
I was amazed, that when I try to install the products - either on a standard
or virtual PC - the setup.exe file does not exist on either DVD's on the root
directory or setup directory.
Trying to use setup100.exe gives an error. ( According to documentation, the
files is used to uninstall an instance of sql server).
Is anyone succeeded in installing the english editions of sql server 2008
from the images provided on msdn subscriber downloads site ?
Has anyone faced the same issue and solved it ?
Any help me which can explain or succeed in the installation process of the
products mentioned above will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Had no problems here. I grabbed the ISO, captured as the CD drive in a VM, and the install ran with no issues.

Ok. Thank you for your answer.
I'll try your way by grabbing the iso image in VM in stead of extracting the iso image, burn in on DVD and install it from there.

Good luck and let us know if it works!

I actually made the mistake of burning only the x86 directory on a DVD and
that caused perhaps the whole mess.
( Actually setup.exe is only in the root directory. It may check the
platform and enable the right installation process, as there is no setup.exe
under x86 or x64 or IA64 folders as far as I could see.
I burned the iso image and tried to attach it to two existing well
functioning VPC images.
But the installation failed again: It could not install .Net framework 3.5.
Have you experienced the same error during your installation processes ? If
yes, how did you solve it ?
