I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition x64 on a Windows Server 2008 VM. I run the installer for a standalone installation and this works fine for the setup support rules bit. That passes ok but then I get this error:

TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.

SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:

Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created..

BUTTONS:

OK

How can I resolve this? I am getting 2008 R2 CTP but this is just a CTP. My download is from DreamSpark.

Thanks

I've did another trick:

  1. In the Installation Disc you will find a folder, x86 and x64

  2. Select as per your OS and go inside the folder

  3. Click on the LandingPage.exe

  4. It will show the page, in that click on the second Option on the left hand menu "Installation"

  5. Click on "Start Standalone installation from the menu at the right side

  6. It will ask for the location files on the disc

  7. Show the location, e.g. <Your Disc Drive>/SQL Server Enterprise 2008/x86

It will complete the installation successfully
