Hello,
I followed the instructions exactly as-is. Got the SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition, installing on Windows Server 2008 R2. After I click Next in the Installation Progress window, after a while, I see *all* the services failed to install. But I do see sql server configuration manager installed correctly. The logs are not helping much. Any one faced with a complete failure of sql server in R2?
