SQL 2008 setup problem with PCU

Installing SQL server 2008 sp1 64 bit on Windows 2008 server.
1.Copied the software form one server to required server.
2.Clicked on Setup.exe file
3.Clicked on Preparing install on left pane of screen
4.Clicked on stan-alone server option
After this it's throwing error message saying the not able to viw PCU(Public Cummulative Update) folder and showing old server path.

Solution.

1.Locate to SQl server s\w folder (C:\softwares\SQl2008Sp1 in mycase)
2.open C:\softwares\SQl2008Sp1\X64\PCU
3.open defaultsetup.ini file
In defaultsetup.ini file PCU path showing to old server path.Now I removed the old path and edited with correct path(C:\softwares\SQl2008Sp1\X64\PCU) ans save it.

And run the setup again.This time setup completed sucessfully.
