From my understanding, you can only launch the GUI install from Windows by running the EXE.
The text install is the only option if you boot off the CD.

Depending on how things are done, sometimes the partition/drive numbers change when booting differently, eg, you have:

Code:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)\WINDOWS

This may actually differ when you've got a USB key plugged in, depending on how you've or the BIOS mounted it.
But it works now anyway.
