Disregard the title. I tried to delete the thread, but I guess that's not possible. I was trying to install SQL 2005 from our MSDB DVD. That was the wrong DVD. However I still have a question about why the CD and correct DVD display the two options below under "Install".
I printed out several pages of documentation regarding the install of 2005. When I tried performing the installation from CD I double-click splash.hta, as indicated in "How to: Install SQL Server 2005 (Setup)". Under Install I see two options:
Server components, tools, Books Online, and samples
Run the SQL Native Client Installation Wizard
The documentation indicates I should be clicking on "Run the SQL Server Installation Wizard", which is not an option. If I select "Run the SQL Native Client..." it appears to be only installing the client and does not follow the remainder of the instructions. I can't find any information on Microsoft's site on how to perform an install from CD.
I'm guessing I should be using the DVD, but has anyone else noticed the "How to" documentation is a little off and have you found any other documentation that is more accurate?
Thanks, Dave

I spoke with Microsoft and it turns out the documentation is out of date. All I needed to do was run setup.exe from the Server folder.
Thanks, Dave
