Hi,

Format my PC and installed SQL Server 2008. Setup hangs as shown in attached image.

Installing on Win 7 64 bit OS. To install SQL Server SP1 is left to do due to this.

FYI, the top text reads: Running post-Windows Installer configuration timing actions the bottom text reads: SqlEngineConfigAction_install_startup_Cpu64

Please Help!

how much memory do you have for this machine? Have you had another instance of SQL Server installed on the same box (i.e. 2005 evaluation edition)? – Fergus Oct 31 '10 at 18:49

There is a known issue with SQL server and Visual Studio 2010. Michael Campbell has a great article "Why Can't SQL Server and Visual Studio Get Along?" that I think explains your problem.
