Sourcepath for cab files

I am attempting to install Terminal Services on my computer. When I do, it
comes up and says:

Some files on Windows 2000 server cd are needed. Insert windows 2000 server
cd into the drive selected below, then click ok

If I click the tab, it lists directories like c:\things, d:\morestuff, etc.
I pointed it to d:\i386. I ended up moving the cab files from d:\i386 to a
new location. Now when I install other components it is automatically
installing them

I did a search in the registry for c:\things, d:\more stuff and I can't find
the location in the registry it is going to to grab the cabs. How come I
can't find these locations in the registry if they show when I click on the
pull down tab?

I assumed by default it would like at Hklm\sw\ms\winnt\cversion\sourcepath.



Any ideas ?
 
Have a look at the Reg_Sz strings;
"SourcePath"
and
"ServicePackSourcePath"

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

(note that these paths ahould be one level above the \i386 folder)
