Hi
SQL server 2008 will be provided as one downloadable file with new features and the fixes from the previous versions too. One of the common reason or cause for this type of error may be improper setup or installation of the previous SQL server. This corrupts the registry and then this leads to the corruption of installation process. As the SQL server is a cumulative release with all new hot fixes, the solution for this type of error is updated in ‘cumulative update package 5 for SQL server 2008 edition’. This can be better solved by using the most recent updated cumulative service package.Â
That error is the result of not searching for the product’s system requirements which is usually the first step prior to installing the program. The error is very minor which only requires installing Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 to fix the problem. Go to Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Standalone Installer then download and install it. Once this component is installed, re-install Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
