I am rebuilding a Windows 2008 Standard 64 bit server. I have the 2008 Standard license key (not R2). We had to install new hard drives in the 2008 machine but do not have the DVD media and the vendor it was purchased from is not available. The Microsoft Windows 2008 Standard download page has a 32 bit ISO file and a 64 bit EXE. Sonic 3 hd pc. I have downloaded both but am not sure on an empty machine without an operating system yet how do I install the 64 bit EXE version. Does it need to be unpacked on an existing working machine? Is the EXE a container file?

I've had this happen with Hyper-V VMs if the ISO that was mounted was moved or deleted before it was unmounted. In my case I ended up having to copy the ISO back to it's original location and then eject/unmount it. I am rebuilding a Windows 2008 Standard 64 bit server.
