Hi,

THe setup never took place, I get this message right after I inserted the CD...so there is no setup files under program files...

Answer 5

Are you trying to install 64Bit SQL Server 2008 on 32 bit Vista OS?

Nope, I have Windows Vista as my Operating system and the SQL Server 2008 developer edition has this OS as recommendation.
