Hello Dave,Iam going into going into add/remove window components from control panel and then select the applications server. The comonent configuration installation start and then all the sudden stops with a box saying that "Please Insert the Compact Disc labled 'Service Pack Disc 1' into your CD-ROM Drive and then Click Ok." I have downloaded my copy Win2003Server from MSNDN Academic alliance. I have extracted the IOS file and then copied all the files for Win2003Server on to a CD-ROM drive.I then inserted the Win2003Server disk in my CD-ROM drive and then clicked OK. I got another box saying "Some files Service Pack Disc 1 are need. Insert Service Pack Disc 1 CD-ROM into the drive selected below, and then click below." The path D:\i386 in the text box. When I click browse I see the file name iisapp.vbs . I tried to browse to this file on the D:\ drive but coulld not find it in the Database folder nad not in the I386 folder.I get this box "Please Insert the Compact Disc labled 'Service Pack Disc 1' into your CD-ROM Drive and then Click Ok." on any component I try and add to Win2003Server.Please help.Thank you,Mohammad Ali

I think the message is deceiving. I'd create an integrated install point following this instruction and point to resulting \I386 directory when prompted.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc784899(WS.10).aspx#IntegratedRegards, Dave Patrick ....
