  • Which version?

    Do you have any particular error messages?

    Several people on the forum's here have installed it with little to no issue, so we know that it does install.

  • Are there any error messages? what type of server is this going on.. O/S 32bit 64 bit which which platform of SQL?

    I got SQL 2008 installed on a windows 2003 Server sp2 box, but having problems getting clustering working on 2008 server and 2008 sql 64bit.. still researching that.

  • Depending on the version you are installing (RC versus CTP) there might be conflicts with previous versions of SQL. I had a problem with SQL 2005 files still being on the machine and once I removed those I was able to install it.

    However, the error message would be handy to have.
