Errors on install of SQL Svr 2005 Enterprise

Greetings,

I have attempted a full install of 2005 Ent on our W2k3 Enterprise

server. When attempting to install all services (SQL Svr database,

analysis, reporting, notification, integration, client

services/components) I get the message: "The features specified are

not valid for this edition of SQL Server". I got the same thing

when attempting to install with various subsets of services. Then I

tried just database services and client components and got the

message: " There was an unexpected failure during the setup

wizard. "

Perusing the core.log, I see:

Fatal Exception caught while installing package: "10"

Error Code: 0x80070002 (2)

Windows Error Text: The system cannot find the file specified.

Source File Name: sqlchaining\sqlprereqpackagemutator.cpp

Compiler Timestamp: Tue Aug 9 01:14:20 2005

Function Name: sqls::SqlPreReqPackageMutator::modifyRequest

Source Line Number: 196

Has anyone encountered this? One of our guys downloaded the install

files from Microsoft. We don't use CDs anymore. I think there are

files missing.

Thanks for any assistance with this.

Windows Server 2003 SP1 is the minimum OS required. Do you have SP1 installed?

Oop! I found the answer, I think:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916760

This problem occurs because the folders that contain the files that are required

during the installation of SQL Server 2005 do not have a correct

layout.

This problem is most likely to occur if you start the SQL Server

2005 installation from a folder on a network share or on a hard disk when the

folder was copied from the SQL Server 2005 installation CDs.

Thanks!
