Create CD from Server 2003 download

I have just downloaded the Windows Server 2003 cd, file name;

SW_CD_Windows_Svr_Std_2003_R2_32-BIT_English_-2_R2_CD1_MLF_X12-16544.EXE

from the eOpen web site. As you can see, it is not an ISO or IMG file but
an EXE file. When I run it, it extracts to a folder. I have attempted to
burn the contents of this folder to a CD and it indicates that the burn was
sucessful but after that you can't see any contents on the cd, windows
indicates it is not a valid cd.

Does anyone have any helpful info on how to get past this?

Thanks in advance.

Hello OJ,

Did you try on another machine to read the disc? If also nothing ot read
choose another disc and try again. If the .exe is extracted to folder it
has nothing to do with the software itself. It's a burn problem form your
burning software.

Best regards
