    Hello,

    I imagine that the installation requires the Windows Server 2016 DVD to be in D:, either you have this DVD, or you have an equivalent ISO that you mount on a virtual drive.

    If not, the 2 provided links allow you to download 2 .cab (installation files), download them, place them in a folder, and specify their location instead of D:

    https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=836819&lcid=1036    ==> SRO_3.2.2.16000_1033.cab
    https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=850317&lcid=1036    ==> SRS_8.0.3.17000_1033.cab


    1. Hello

      Thank you for your response

      I downloaded the .cab files but I don’t know where I should copy them

      Thank you
