This is the second server installed from new; SBS2003 Premium; where I have
applied SBS SP1 successfully. That is apart from the Premium CD update for
which I await the CD.
The only part of the Premium installation installed is ISA server 2000.
When I now try to run i386\winnt32 from the SBS CD1 I get the following
message open in a window

Windows Setup
Setup cannot continue because the version of windows on your
computer is newer than the version on the CD.
Warning: If you decide to delete the newer version of Windowsthat
is currently installed on your computer, the files and settings cannot be
recovered.

with the options to cancel or details.
The details option just informs me that the only way to use this cd is to
boot from it and start a whole new installation and that if I do so I will
loose all existing data.
Nothing appears in the event logs.


Many thanks
