Install Error with Sept CTP

Hi all,
I am running into install error when prompted "PLEASE INSERT DISC
2" when I am installing with virtual drive using Daemon Tools instead of from
CD or DVD. I am a Universal MSDN Download Subscriber, but apparently MSDN don't support install issue with beta version of their product. I am stuck with not able to use this app, and any help is much appreciated.

Sincerely,
-Lawrence
Lawrence, A possible problem is that you didn't notice that some builds of Sept CTP come as two separate images - Server and Tools. I assume you downloaded Server only. Andrew Watt MVP - InfoPath wrote in message news:4aa66c60-7142-4d86-ba1c-77895be5c54d@.discussions.microsoft.com...

|||To be clear, there are two files you need to download:

Disk1: en_SQL2005_DEV_Servers_Sept2005.iso
Disk2: en_SQL2005_DEV_Tools_Sept2005.iso

You need both of them.|||Great! I did not know Tools ISO would also be needed together with the Server ISO. Typically installation uses one ISO, and Server contains all necessary components. Was that mentioned in MSDN that Tools is also required? This has caused considerable confusion.

Thanks for your assistance!
