Re: R2 Beta installation errors

Registered and downloaded the files again.
I noticed that the file names are the same, but Disk 1 iso is significantly
smaller. Disk 2 iso is same as beta.
Burned new CDs.

Disk 1 will not boot.
When I log on as the local admin and run the Setup program, the window
opens, but when I click on the "Install..." button, nothing happens.

Check the CD out in Windows Explorer and all the files are there.

So, I'm back to the original question:
How do you extract the files to a network share and try a network install?

TIA
Rick

I am running the trial version as well. I had not problem installing from
the two CD disks after burning them from the downloaded ISO files. Sounds
like you have a corrupt download or possibly a hardware problem with your
CD reader.
One test you can do is to try installing from the ISO files using a
virtual computer. If you get any errors then it would probably indicate a
bad ISO file.

Not sure what the none beta is, but I had followed the links on MS site
for
trial software and ended up at the R2 Beta download page for Windows
2003.

Registered, downloaded and burned the CDs, but it doesn't run properly.

Could be the download.
Could be the Roxio software used to burn it to a CD-R disc.
Could be the files included in the iso file are corrupt.

Just wanted to know if there's another way to attempt to load/evaluate
this
software.

Thanks.

What about the none beta version? Why are you trying to install a beta
when
a release version is available?
