Unable to run 2008 R2 setup.exe

#1

I'm getting this error;
"This SQL Server Setup media is not supported on a X64 system" in a little
pop-up

when trying to run setup.exe in the root of the disk.

I'm running a fresh install of Windows Server 2008 R2 standard
Trying to install SQL Server 2008 R2 web

both were downloaded as ISOs from MSDN

#2

Solved. Although the disk was accessible it needs to be locally mounted.
Error was just misleading.
