CD Install

I would like to extract the self extracting exe files to go to a directory so I can burn a CD. I have tried burning the CD's from the temp directory but it wouldn't install properly from the CD. Is there a command line parameter to get around this? TIA

Add "/x" (no quotes) to any of the express packages (e.g. SQLEXPR.EXE /x) and you will be prompted for a directory to extract the files to.
