That is, if you use the same media on a real computer
("on metal"), you don't get the error about the missing
"...\i386\asms" file?
Hmm, microsoft has a knowledge base article about
such a problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B311755&x=11&y=12
According to that article "the Setup program cannot communicate with
the CD-ROM drive". (Well, so far the virtual cdrom drive hardware
in a xvm hvm environment worked fine for me, I didn't encounter that
"asms" file missing problem...)
Google finds lots of pages discussing this problem, too. E.g.
