For those of you who have arrived here after attempting to install from a mounted .iso image, try this:
I had the same problem trying to install on a Windows 7 Ultimate VM, and these steps worked for me. I use separate local accounts for each service.

Hello Stanislav,
To uninstall SQL Server 2008, please see the instructions given on the following thread:

Hello, Alberto!
Thank you for your help.
Of course, I do have local administrative privileges on this computer (and do not have administrative privileges in domain or forest). It seems like setup has failed installation and did not finish all the operations correctly. At least I do not even see system MDBs and the DATA folder. So it seems like setup registered DB service but failed to create complementary files causing service to be unable to start correctly.
How do you recommend to proceed with the uninstallation? I see multiple SQL component records in the Add or Remove applet. Which one should I start with? Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) (I have 2 records of these), SNAC, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup (English) or Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup Support Files?
Thank you.
Regards,
Stanislav.
P.S.: Thanks to Malcolm for moving this thread to a correct forum. I am sorry to create it in a wrong forum.
Hello, Jonathan! Thank you for a quick response and detailed answer! Thank you I configured the setup with the default settings. I do NOT have the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\ERRORLOG path on my file system. Seems like setup has failed despite what was returned by the wizard.
How would you recommend unistalling SQL Server in a correct manner. I mean there a gazillion of entries in the Add and Remove applet related to SQL Server. I even have two records for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) there. Also, I have SNAC, setup support files, and R2 Setup (english). Which item you would recommend me to start with the uninstall?
How did you configure the data and log file paths during the setup process? If you specified an alternate path, the data and log files would be created in the alternate path. The details about why the service failed to start would be located in the SQL Server Error Log file. You can find the location of that file by opening the SQL Server Configuration Manager (Start->All Programs-> Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2->Configuration Tools->SQL Server Configuration Manager) and then click on SQL Server Services and right click on SQL Server (<Instance Name>) and open Properties. Click Advanced and then click the drop down on Startup Parameters. You want to find the -e parameter value, which specifies the path to the ErrorLog:
-eC:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\ERRORLOG
Open that file up and post the contents back here. If it doesn't exist, you have a failed install and need to remove it and try again. The -d and -l parameters specify the path to the data and log file for the master database.
Please create a local Windows account or a domain account with administrative privileges on that computer, change the service account for MSSQLServer with the newly created account
using SQL Server Configuration Manager, and try to start MSSQLServer service again.
Hope this helps.

Hello there!
I installed the released SQL Server 2008 R2 on x64 (amd64) computer running Windows Server 2008 R2. This was a full install with all the setup features selected in the Setup Wizard. Setup process has finished successfully. However, after a reboot I discovered that the SQL Server (INSTANCENAME) is not running. I tried to forcibly start the service from the service properties dialog using the Services snap-in. Starting the service returned the following error:
---------------------------
Services
---------------------------
Windows could not start the SQL Server (KL) service on Local Computer.
Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
The service is running under the Network Service account selected during the setup process.
In the Application log is see the following error:
Faulting application name: sqlservr.exe, version: 2009.100.1600.1, time stamp: 0x4bb6b40b
Faulting module name: sqlservr.exe, version: 2009.100.1600.1, time stamp: 0x4bb6b40b

Report Id: e4335a09-7ab6-11df-91cf-0023544cc96e
From the Sql Server Configuration Manager I see that the SQL Server (KL) instance has the automatic startup mode and the state is Stopped.
I have disabled all the client protocols but TCP/IP. My firewall is turned off.
Starting the SQL Server (KL) service from the SQL Server Configuration Manager returns this error:
---------------------------
SQL Server Configuration Manager
---------------------------
The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
I figured out that I DON NOT HAVE THE DATA folder under the MSSQL10_50.KL folder.
That's all I have:
18.06.2010 12:04 <DIR> .
18.06.2010 12:04 <DIR> ..
18.06.2010 12:04 <DIR> Binn
18.06.2010 12:04 <DIR> FTData
18.06.2010 10:45 <DIR> Install
03.04.2010 21:59 14 176 sql_engine_core_inst_keyfile.dll
03.04.2010 10:59 14 176 sql_fulltext_keyfile.dll
18.06.2010 10:45 <DIR> Upgrade
Seems like this wasn't a success setup despite what setup wizard reported. Or I am missing something?
Any clues?
Thank you in advance.

Stanislav.
Please excuse my cross-posting. My first assumption was that it somehow relates to failing Reporting Services setup.
