Install 2005 question 1

[thamms]

Can SQL Server 2005 be installed from the hard disks using ISO files?

Thanks

You would need to mount the ISO files as a virtual CD-Rom drive using software for that purpose. If you do this then yes. It however is much easier to simply decompress the ISO file and put the files on the network somewhere and install from there. ISOBuster will let you easily convet the ISO back into it's base files.
