I feel your pain.... here is a good resource blog site that has most known errors with dealing with SQL Server 2008 installs.

I used it when standing up sql 2008 clusters.... that is a totally new can of worms.

FYI...

I know what you are going through as I am myself.

Two days I have been trying to install SQL Server 2008 on a new WIndows 2008 Server and "Nada".

I have searched just about every site and blog to no avail.

I have never, ever been involved with trying to install an application like this.

Not even SQL Server 2005 was this bad and it took some time to get it done

And you are right. There is no log to tell you what is failing other than that stupid pop-up that says you need to install Net Framework 3.5.

There are only help logs that get created and they are of no help.

I would like to have a chat with the folks at MS that wrote this installation.

If I find anything out or get it installed, I will post it

Are you installing on W2008 or W2008 R2? If you are using W2008 R2 then you need to build a slipstreamed media set that includes SQL Server 2008 SP1. It is also worth including the latest SP1 CU if you intend to apply that.

You can install SQL 2008 on Windows 2008 R2 without creating slipstreamed media, but only if you deal with the .Net install yourself by running OCSETUP("NetFx3"). Note NetFx3 is case dependant.

We had a similar issue of the install failing with a message "SQL server 2008 setup requires .NET Framework 3.5 to be installed" even though the .NET 3.5 framwork was already installed. Tried all the uninstall .NET 3.5, re-install .NET 3.5, etc.

We had burned an .iso image of SQL Server 2008 to a DVD, and had been using that for the install. After all the fooling around, the solution that worked for us was to use a utility to mount the .iso image directly, and install from there -- the install finally went through without an issue.

Never figured what was the underlying problem. . .

Hi Folks

I forgot to mention that this windows server 2008 is a virtual server

not sure if that makes a difference

It may be worth running OCSETUP("NetFx3") and rebooting, then retrying your SQL install.

I had the same error when using a defect install media (corrupted/incomplete iso).

With a good iso: no problems at all

Looks like a side by side install issue known with SQL2000 tools which has been fixed for SQL2008 R2. The issue is that for sql80 there are registry keys missing for either version or language. What the fix tried to do was to populate the fields based on other existing sql80 features detected by discovery. The workaround is to go through the sql80 features and copy the registry keys for Version and or Language from existing features to the ones that do not have it. We could not determine why those keys are missing.
