Server 2003 Trial version missing files during install

[Steve Davies]

Downloaded the Server 2003 trial Enterprise image name X13-05665.img and
tried to install in a vmware workstation enviroment.
After creating the partition formating drive it then start to copy the file
but errors with the following:
Setup cannot copy the file: (in order of errors during install)
kodak_dc.icm
mchgrcoi.dll
msyuv.dll
pid.dll
srgb.icm
tsbyuv.dll
wowfax.dll
wowfaxui.dll
mouclass.sys

Retry does nothing you have to skip them, this then causes the install once
complete to not be able to add hardware like mouse and network card, making
the system useless.
I have bounced around MS on the phone the final answer I got was that the
trial software is not Supported!

Any one any ideas, vmware session is clean (new) have tried downloading
image again, installing via image and burnt to cd, get the same errors
everytime.

Faulty image files? or something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Steve

£!"%!£% been messing with this all day then just had a thought, created a new
vmware session this one a full 8 gig unlike the one i have been testing on
7.2gig split into 2 gig partitions and it's installing fine.

what the !"$! you wouldn't expect an err like below with the fix that seems
to have worked, real strange, still hope this will help someone else.
