SQL Server 2008 Installation media in .ISO file

Hello -

Although not an SSIS n00b, I have never had to deal with installing the actual software....so forgive me if this is a stupid question: I recently installed SQL Server 2008, mostly for the Integration Services portion of the product.  I later found that I needed the database services to assist in my ETL packages. 

I was going to add the additional service using the 'SQL Server Installation Center (64-bit) by selecting 'New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation' - but when I click on this, it asks me to browse for the SQL Server 2008 Installation Media. 

The issue is that when I downloaded the software from our company intranet, it was pushed to my machine in 5 separate zipped files (1 .exe file, and 4 .rar files).  After receiving all files, I was then told to run the .exe file, which looks like it took all of the files to put together the .ISO file.  I now have 6 files in this 'SSIS Install' folder (listed below):

SW_DVD9_SQL_Svr_Developer_Edtn_2008_R2_English_MLF_X16-29684.ISO

SW_DVD9_SQL_Svr_Developer_Edtn_2008_R2_English_MLF_X16-29684.part1.exe

SW_DVD9_SQL_Svr_Developer_Edtn_2008_R2_English_MLF_X16-29684.part2.rar

SW_DVD9_SQL_Svr_Developer_Edtn_2008_R2_English_MLF_X16-29684.part3.rar

SW_DVD9_SQL_Svr_Developer_Edtn_2008_R2_English_MLF_X16-29684.part4.rar

SW_DVD9_SQL_Svr_Developer_Edtn_2008_R2_English_MLF_X16-29684.part5.rar

So my question is, how/where/what is the 'SQL Server Installation Media' file?  Any help or references to additional informaiton would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!
