    It looks like you've missed something on the security screens. Make sure, minimum, you add the current user. That's actually not always the best way to go about it, but I'm assuming this is your first time.

    Take a look in the mentioned log file (this will point to more detailde log files) for more descriptive error messages.

    You mentioned you allready installed SQL2012. Is this installed on the same machine? I'm not sure (perhaps other posters kan confirm), but it could be you can't install SQL2008 when SQL2012 is allready installed. The normal sequence to install multiple versions is to start with the oldest one (SQL2008) and subsequently install the newer one (SQL2012).
