Server 2003 R2 with sp2 on one CD set

[SaiTech]

Hi all,

I found a guide to, if I understand this right then you can copy the CMPNENTS on 2003 R2 cd2 to 2003 R2 cd1 then slipstream cd1. and then install it with the 2003 R2 serial key. then the R2 components will install automaticly.

Well I have tried with no success, should this work?

"The idea of the CMPNENTS folder is not new to R2 but was taken from Windows XP MCE and Tablet editions as was the idea that if you copy the CMPNENTS folder from the second CD into the same folder as i386 from the first CD then with the right license key it will be automatically installed during the setup routine. Taking this into account I then tried copying the CMPNENTS folder into the CD1 folder along with the contents of the first CD and trying the service pack integration again. Out of curiosity I used WinDiff to compare the results to the CMPNENTS in my CD2 folder - 136 files were changed by the integration of the service pack. "
