I consistently got this error when trying to get SQL 2008 x64 onto Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64). I've even tried Slipstreaming SP1 and that slipstreamed SQL 2008 SP1 fails to install with the same message as well. Following your instructions let the original SQL 2008 x64 install fine! Run Command Prompt as Administrator. >SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe /extract It'll ask you where you'd like to put the files, I put it in a new subfolder "extracted". >cd extracted >setup Thanks!

>SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe /extract

It’ll ask you where you’d like to put the files, I put it in a new subfolder “extracted”.

>cd extracted
>setup

Thanks!

Usually the problem is persistent when running the installer from a network drive. Thanks for the feedback! @Ishai & @Erock2011: I’ve found that the “run as administrator” works sometimes as well.
