Hi there ,
I've downloaded the sql server developer edition dvd from msdnaa.It came with two .iso files.Before extract these .iso files I combined them with "copy /b" command , created a new .iso file and a new folder on my local file system(C:\...Desktop\SqlDev) then extracted this new .iso file to this directory.But when I ran the setup.exe , it installed the database engine and sql server configuration tools but not the "Client Components" which includes Management Studio , SQL Profiler...etc. and gave me the error below. (I choosed to install "SQL Server Database Services" and "Workstation components,Books Online and development tools" options in installation program)

"There was an unexpected failure during the setup wizard"

I googled it and found this KB article from Microsoft.

But my extracted .iso file doesn't contain "Tools" and "Servers" folders.As the article says I created this folders to (C:\...Desktop\SqlDev) but which files I have to copy to these folders ? There are no files or packages named "Server" or "Tools".

I tried to burn the .iso image to a dvd and load it from this dvd.This time it wanted me to insert the second disc but I've already downloaded the whole sql server developer edition DVD(approximately 935 MB).

How can I achieve this problem and install the client tools ?

Thanks for your replies...
