Install Geust OS from ISO

Hi,

I recently downloaded ISA2004 iso from technet site, on my virtual server I
have tried all ways of getting the machine to install from ISO, I copied the
iso file locally and put the VS Search Path, I have also burnt it to a CD but
either way I cant install from an ISO file. If I use the same CD drive with
the Normal installation cd it boots from there and installs fine. I have
tried changing the boot order on the Virtual Machine but I cant get it to
work either from a local or CD ISO file

Thanks

Umm, ISA, in any version, is an application, not an operating system. You
can't boot from the ISO and install it, you need to have a supported OS
installed first and then install ISA.

Just point the cd drive to the iso file and you should be fine

Hi Guys,

Thanks for responding, perhaps I did not make myself clear enough, I
appreciate ISA is an application the issue I am struggling with is to read
the ISO file from other than the CD, What I have been trying to do obviously
incorrectly is by changing the location on the VM to point to the location of
the ISO file rather than creating coasters by writing the ISO files to CD. If
I change the VM Cd setting to point to the location where the application ISO
is the VM machine then fails to boot. Is it possible to load an ISO into the
VM without writing the file to the CD, if so perhaps you can point me in the
correct direction.

Thanks Mike

Hi Paul,

Thanks for responding I have tried copying the ISO file to the same location
as the VMC files, and on the virtual server I have added that folder and
others to the Search Path I also tried using the full UNC path. If I have to
I can copy the file from the VM server directly to the VM machine if I have
to but some of the ISO files are rather large and would prefer not to to do
that if it can be helped.

Thanks Mike
