Hi, thanks for this article.
In our situation we found that the alternative source cannot be a network share. (Also not functioning when a drive letter is added via net use.)
Strangely when de installation dvd is mounted from the same networkshare it functions..

If You have noticed after mounting the iso, that will be on a separate drive. then you can easily specify the location while installing.
