There was no way that the D drive, a DVD Reader could be used and I could not find anywhere in the scripts and configuration which indicated that D: was to be used.
To get around this, I performed the following :
Select Computer => manage Computer. From here, right click on the DVD drive and select Change Driver Letters and Paths.
Now, create a directory on the local machine and share that directory out. Now, from the computer icon, right click and select to map a new directory.
Select D: as the drive, and enter the name of the local machine and directory share. Now select retry installation on the installation application.
