you can see on the image is an .exe file and not an ISO file... do you need to install this as one big file?

[BareMetal]

No, just extract the ISO image from the EXE.

Does anybody know the volume labels for the Volume Licence editions, plz?

g-string.

I don't know for sure, but this is what I was told:

NRMEVOL_EN = Enterprise Edition
NRMSVOL_EN = Standard Edition
NRMWVOL_EN = Web Edition

Thanks for that. I got the FTF release, 3-in-1. No idea why it was nuked but I think there has been a rethink on that. I made a new CD from the extracted files, for Standard Server. Installed fine, nothing in setuperr.log, already activated - it asked for a VLK during install. Works fine, even with a make-up volume label. Don't know why ppl are messing about with DIY isos and corpfiles when FTF have delivered the goods already.
