In the SQL Server Installation Center there is an Maintenance alternative 
which I select.
When I have done that I select the Repair alternative.

Now I get a question from a dialog  with name "Choose Folder"
Browse for SQL Server 2008 Installation Media.
When I select the CD where I have the SQL Server  2008 I get the following 
error
"D:/is not a valid installation folder."

I'm must doing someting wrong here.
