Developer installation fails - does not prompt for Disk 2!

I have tried this many times....cleaned all previous MS SQL installations...rebooted....all with the same result below.

I insert Disc 1 of the Developer edition and all is find until it gets to the main installation...then OWC fails ("Setup cannot find the files specified") although I have an open Internet connection from where it can be downloaded.

Then the main Database server and Integration services installation fails, and other components succeed. When I click the error message it says "Please insert Disc 2" - although the main installation never prompts for Disc 2 (which are the Tools I believe).

Even if I install Disc 2, the installation never succeeds - and the main componets I am interested in - Database server and Integration services - always fails.

I have used the developer edition with many operating systems OWC is not a requirement for installing it, I have to tell you installing SQL Server from CD is not good practice. You need to create a folder in your C drive and copy the contents of the CDs into that folder and your installation will complete because all your files are in one place. If you need OWC in your development environment you need to download that to the folder before running the installer. Hope this helps.
