I found the problem. When the infrastructure guys copied DISK1 and DISK2 down to the Server, they unzipped them into the same installation folder. I think some of the files got overwritten and I was using the wrong setup.exe. Luckily, they left the unzipped disk files on the harddrive. I unzipped them into their own folders and ran setup for disk1!!!

I thought you started by saying you would be installing Enterprise Edition? And then installed Standard Edition?
Anyway, the rule for installing SQL Server 2005 from a single directory is to copy Disk 2 into a new directory, then drop Disk 1 on top, overwriting anything it finds there already. Then the installation works fine.

The other thing to look at with Enterprise Edition is getting memory access set up right, to suit the OS and hardware. There's a permission to consider http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190730.aspx
and the AWE setting http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190673.aspx
