Just a right click > Open worked for me. Run as admin failed multiple time.

Thanks guys.

It shouldn't be this hard to install. Meanwhile, created c:\temp and ran the executable as an administrator.. i.e. right click run as an administrator and it worked.

The solution is to deactivate UAC for user control Settings, and then reboot the server.

That worked for me

Still a bug... — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 07:32:19 GMT

This bug in the installer UI (not like it's a core function of SQL Server with ramifications or anything) was known to Microsoft in 2009. I downloaded SQL Server 2008 Express last week, it the bug still exists!! Shame on you Microsoft.

Right Click on the setup file and run it as administrator.

worked for me when installing enterprise edition, although my server is windows 2008 R2. If the issue is occurring due to .NET behavior on Win7 I'm wondering why it failed on windows 2008R2.

Instead of Invoke, I did BeginInvoke and it worked for me :)
