You run it from a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain controller. If you just run the setup from the cd it will ask you to do a forest prep which will extend your Active Directory Schema so you have to be logged in as Enterprise or schema admin.
Based on your other question - this won't work in an nt4 domain.

In fact you can run SETUP /FORESTPREP from any member of your Active Directory, as long as the account your using has the appropriate permissions as documented in Q255788 at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q255/7/88.ASP.
