Not sure what I can say apart from using the /x parameter? ie.
SQLServer2005SP3-KB955706-x64-ENU.exe /x

Even without this it will prompt you for a directory so as Aaron says, so
long as you don't cancel the install when it will clear up, you can look at
the files. If you just want help on the parameters use /?

product group as well, so hopefully it will be back up.

Thanks for the help.
