There should be logs in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap (or similar) that might give more details of what happened. Post any relevent errors here so we can see.

I am having the same problem? Any solutions?
August 2, 2010 at 3:09 am
There are a few possible causes...
1) Faulty install media. This does not often happen, and given the other messages is not likely to be the cause of your problem.
2) Slow drive holding the install media. If your install media is on a slow network drive, copy it to a local drive. I have seen many install failures where a slow drive was the culprit. If you have a .msi file that fails to install this is an indicator of a slow drive
3) Slow server. If you are running on a virtual server, try giving it more CPU resource. If you have a service startup failure this could be due to a slow server or lack of memory.
4) Lack of memory. Without knowing anything about your server configuration, I think this may be the cause of your problem. Monitor memory usage with Task Manager, and if you have less than 100MB free then you should add more memory or stop other tasks that are using memory.

Well it turns out the issue was an old copy of windows. I bumped up the memory in this process to 4gb and still had the issue. Just had a feeling about the older copy of Windows so I installed a new XP windows on the box and the install went just fine. Unfortunately the box died 2wks later. I purchased a new Dell and installed SQL 2008 on it and all is good. Thanks for the help.

After doing some more research online, I was only able to get the install to work after logging on to the box using a user account that had Admin privileges other than the built in Admin account. Weird.

That is very strange but glad to hear you got it installed.
THanks again
