Hello Corey,

error 2908 occur in QuickBooks installation because of MS .NET framework is damaged. To solve the issue we have to uninstall and reinstall the .NET

Uninstall the .net framework

In taskbar click on start button and chose the control panel. Now double click on add and removal program icon, you just need to scroll down and select MS .NET framework, and make click on change/removal button. if the error occurs again you might consider running this removal tool.

Reinstall the .NET framework

Insert your QuickBooks cd in drive. Click start button and chose my computer, explore it. Double click the third party folder and then:

Quickbooks 2010 and 2011: double click the DOTNET35 folder, and then double click DOTNETFX35.exe

 Quickbooks 2009 and 2008: choose DOTNET20

Follow the onscreen instruction to install the framework. Once you have reinstalled framework just install again your quickbooks

thanks
