I hit a snag earlier this week when installing AudioCodes’ IP Phone Manager Express. The installer adds the usual Windows Features/Roles – but it does so assuming the media is in D:\sources\sxs, and it’s not something you can change.

I found them in the PDF “3725-49078-018a-uc-software-skype-for-business-deployment-guide-5-6-0.pdf” but for future reference I decided to copy and re-post them here. From the PDF: “The following …
