sources\sxs is not a valid installation folder

    I'm trying to add a SQL feature via programs features - SQL Server - change - add.

    I have mounted the ISO successfully.

    When I click add it asks me to specify the installation folder so I browse to J:\sources\sxs and click ok.

    I keep getting the message that sources\sxs is not a valid installation folder.

    What now please?

    Is your SQL install actually in drive J: or is J: relative to whatever drive it is actually in?

    Just a thought.

    J drive is the drive that the ISO is mounted to.

    I also tried copying the relevant folder to the local C drive and reissuing the command. Still no good.

    I've come across this before and had to use the DISM command. I just can't find the command specific to full text indexing

    dism.exe /online /enable-feature ?????
