Longhorn Server Install from .iso?

Well, I am 0 for 2 trying to install Vista & Longhorn Server Beta 2. With Vista, I have now ripped 2 DVD's, both of which start copying files, and then fail with the message that it can't read the dvd.
With Longhorn, I have tried installing to both Virtual PC and Virtual Server 2005 R2 from the .iso. Both attempts have yielded the following message:
"Setup was unable to find the Windows End User License Agreement. Please ensure that you are running Setup from valid installation media."
Is an .iso not valid media?
Anyone had any luck with this scenario? Thanks Bob Willer BetaID 267513

An ISO image (.iso) is an informal term for a disk image of an ISO 9660 file system. More loosely, it refers to any optical disk image, even a UDF image. As is typical for disk images, in addition to the data files that are contained in the ISO image, it also contains all the filesystem metadata (boot code, structures, and attributes). All of this information is contained in a single file. These properties make it an attractive alternative to physical media for the distribution of software which requires this additional information as it is simple to retrieve over the Internet. You need software such as Daemon Tools or Nero Drive Image or burn to a blank DVD for it to be functional. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "Bob Willer" wrote in message

Daemon Tools - I'd definately recommend it. www.daemon-tools.cc

I am not sure if my message was mis-interpreted or not, but for the Vista build, I used Nero to burn the DVD image. For Longhorn, I was using the Microsoft VCDControl Tool to mount the .iso. (Actually, when trying to install it via Virtual Server, I mounted the .iso as a drive via the Virtual Server configuration).

I had the same issue trying to install into Virtual Server 2005 with the Vista B2 iso file. I burned a copy to a DVD and have been installing it.
However, my issue is a bit different. The virtual machine is installing from the burned DVD on the screen for installing windows where it lists the following options, copying files, expanding files, installing features, etc. It has been running for just over 2 hours and is currently at 30% for the Copying Windows Files item. Has anyone else seen this? Is there anyway for it to go faster???????

I had to burn a DVD as well. It doesn't work from the iso.
Unfortunately, it ran for 2+ hours "copying files" and was only at 30% when I tried to install the new VPC on Virtual Server 2005.
Has anyone else had this issue with the speed of the install?

Did you ever figure out this issue? I'm seeing the same thing.

I am running into the same problem, burned the iso and the install starts fine, you enter the product key and as soon as you click next you get "setup was unable to find the windows end user license agreement." I read somewhere it was due to the incorrect product key being used. Make sure you either downloaded Server and are using one of the other 4 keys, or vice versa.

I have the same problem. When I entered my product key and click "next" I get the message "Setup was unable to find the Windows End User License Agreement. Please ensure that you are running Setup from Valid installation media". I have an original Vista beta 2 DVD burned from an .Iso with Nero and Product key. I hope there is a resolution for this problem. I find this very anoying.
