A fresh windows 2008 R2 standard server trying to install SQL 2008 R2 Standard and I'm getting the following error message when it goes to install "Integration Services".
"TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup
------------------------------
The following error has occurred:
The cabinet file 'Sql.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package."
It's not a bad cd burn, as I'm installing from mounted ISO files. I've tried downloading them several times, and even tried a different version of SQL (technet instead of openvalue) and its still throwing the same error message. I also don't actually see a SQL.cab on the install disc, or packed in any of the MSI files. So I'm guessing this error is misleading, and something else is to blame, but I can't seem to find a solution to this.
Not sure why I'm having this issue with a fresh install, but if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know as I'm out of ideas! One of the suggestions i did try was copying the install files to a local directory and running it from there. I've done that, and it gave the same error unfortunately.
