NOTE: The setup files need to be copied to a PSFS filesystem only once.

Subsequent SQL Server 2005 installations will use the setup files

filesystem” task is selected, the SQL Install window will display

the next task, “Record unattended installation template,” instead.

Location of media: Specify the location of the SQL Server 2005 product

files. If you are installing from the SQL Server 2005 DVD, it should be

location that can be accessed by the current node.You can click the browse

button (the button labeled “...”) to locate the media.

NOTE: MxDB for SQL Server cannot copy from a CIFS share (i.e., a UNC
