Just trying to install SQL 2005 on a Windows Server 2003 virtual machine and I get the following error.

This helpful KB article advise me that the installation files have to be in specific folders. These two folders must be under the same level of a folder or the root folder of a drive. The names of these folders must be exactly Servers and Tools. The Servers folder contains all the files that are required to install major SQL Server 2005 components, such as database engine. The Tools folder contains tools components and Books Online for SQL Server 2005.
Handy information to know. Would have been helpful in the setup documentation, then I wouldn't have wasted my time.
