Dos window flashes when installing SQL Server 2008 R2 on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 machine - then does

HI all, I'm installing the Developer edition of MS SQL Server 2008 R2 (downloaded today) on a Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit virtual machine (using VMWare Workstation 6.5).  Yesterday I had tried MS SQL Server 2008 R0 with the same results.  Both give an error about 30% into the installation process: "An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'VSLangProj80,Version="8.0.0.0",PublicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a",Culture="neutral",FileVersion="8.0.50727.1826"' When I click the OK button, the install rolls that last bit back and then continues.  Unfortunatly I didn't take a screenshot of the main install window, just the error window. Any ideas what this error means?  The install yesterday seemed to work, but I'm not through the R2 install yet.  The R0 install also failed to install the documentation for some reason (I left it running during the night) Note that I have VS2010 (original release plus downloaded updates) installed and then just some small stuff like Snagit and Skype on this VM.  I updated Windows 7 completely before I started installing R2 so it is completely up to date as of midnight!

When I was installing this sql server 2008 on windows 7 it showed me some compatility issue.. but then I proceeded. I have gone till configure step and then one rule fails which says "this system has sql 2008 server already isntalled and I should install sql server 2008 sp1. But I dont have sny sql server 2008 version and it did not work even if I install sql server 2008 sp1

This machine had sql server 2008 installed.  I removed it since the upgrade would not work.   The machine currently doesn't have any sql installs.    The error fails during the Setup Support Files step.    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.  I've included last part of file since you can only include 60k chars here.

    I try the SQL 2008 R2 Standard version, and know it works, on a clean machine with Windows 7. But in another machine a user has uninstall the old version of the SQL and after the step of install the Setup Support Files nothing happens. I had copy the log files that are on C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log I think that something on the uninstall of the old verion went wrong and this version cannot be installed.

I have a new SQL Server 2008 Development edition installation on a Newly setup Server running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition.  The server is mainly a file server and is not setup as a domain controller.  Since my test environment is fairly basic (server and two Vista Ultimate machines) I thought the connection through data sources on the client machines would be straight forward.  But it isn't working.  I can see the server, ping the server, etc. but when I try and connect the client through a system DNS it will not connect using SQL Server authentication using a loginId.  (since it isn't on a domain, I can't use Windows NT Authentication).   The error is SQL Error 10060 and SQL Error 17.  (connection failed and SQL Server does not exist or access denied)  Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

I am trying to install MOSS 2007 SP1 on wingows server 2008. After the licence agreement I am being redirected to a window where I can select "Server Type" skipping the window where we can select Installation type(Basic or Advanced).

And "Complete" and "WebFrontEnd" options are diabled and "Standalone" option is only enabled on the "Server Type"  window.

 

Please help me regarding this.
