Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Service Pack 2 Iso Download

After successfully installing Windows Server 2003 with integrated Service Pack 2 on a server I ran the R2 installer (SETUP2.EXE) and was greeted with this message: Windows Server 2003 R2 Setup Wizard Setup cannot continue because this product disc is incompatible with the service pack installed on this computer. Upgrade Server 2003 R2 STANDARD Service Pack 2 200GB RAID1 SATA drives solved Where to obtain Windows ISO Files for reinstall after partition removed. Solved Where to obtain Windows ISO Files for. Windows Server 2003 Standard 32 bit bootable ISO download link. Iso file of 2003 server standard edition.

The fle you downloaded is 'Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (x86) - CD. 'Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with SP1 (English)'.

I'm trying to install IIS on Windows Server 2003 and in the Windows Components Wizard, it prompts me to 'Insert Service Pack 2 CD-ROM'.. I'm assuming this is the Windows Server 2003 installation CD, CD 2. However when I try to put it in, it doesn't seem to recognize it.. In the D: drive, it is called CR0SCD2X_EN. Do you folks have any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

Edit: I entered in CD1 and seems like it gave it a kick start. However, now it is complaining about where a convlog.exe file is. Doesn't seem to be in CD1 or CD2. :(

No, it's asking for the installation files for Service Pack 2, not CD 2. It's asking for what it needs - the versions of the files already on the system are at SP2, but the installation source files aren't there for whatever reason.

Once you do what you're talking about - essentially, forcing SP1 files (2003 R2 shipped with SP1 included) in place of SP2 - you'll end up with a mostly-working-but-partially-broken IIS installation, which won't install at least some security updates correctly.

I'd suggest you download and extract the SP2 installation files to somewhere accessible from this computer, then uninstall and reinstall IIS on the box with that location specified when it prompts for the SP2 'CD'.

If not, after you've forced it through like this, a) reinstall SP2, and b) run Windows Update again.

Kinda weird, but with the help of IIS forum, I was able to do this:Run this command from command prompt:

And installing IIS after that. It works!

If you have a slipstreamed CD, point the installer to it.

This problem might have an utterly stupid solution:

If the 'Files Needed' dialog is proposing the location 'C:WINDOWSINSTALLATIONI386i386', try deleting the last I386 (from the dialog's path):

With the current AWS EC2 Windows Server R2 image (ami-26e3e7cd) that's all is needed: it looks like some installer genius just typed the wrong location somewhere!

The prompt will come up for each missing file, so you'll have to do this several times.

Precisely these are the files for which I get a prompt when installing IIS (the Application Server role):

Windows
  • convlog.exe
  • iisback.vbs
  • iis6.cab
