I'm trying to install SQL server 2008 in my computer. It's running 32 bit, Windows 7. However, after a couple of steps, when I reach the point where the installation is showing that it's arriving in "support files of installation", then the setup modal window disapears and does not proceed with the installation.
Does anyone have a clue of why this could be happening?
Are there any tools that need to be pre-installed: frame work or some other tool in order for this to work?

Try to completely remove all versions of SQL server.

And try again.

I am trying since 2 days. I was able to Install but I Cant see my all services in 'SQL Server Configuration Manager and I cannot access sql server management studio.
It works fine on my windows 7 laptop and it have all the services.
Xp have only 'SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS)' running and 'SQL SERVER AGENT(SQLEXPRESS)' and 'SQL SERVER Browser' stopped. I right clicked and tried to start but start is disabled. I am not sure whether this is installation issue or because of windows xp.
You can find a list of supported operating systems and requirments here.
I checked for you and XP Professional service pack 3 is in the list.
You can try if updating your service pack works?

I installed win 8 rtm on my laptop and today decided i wanted to RDP to it. I went to the remote table of the 'system properties' dialog and theres no option to enable it. There's a useless 'remote assistance' fieldgroup that microsoft apparently want to force me to use.
What I want is the magic checkbox that lets anyone RDP in. I've seen (http://blogs.technet.com/b/digital_musketeer/archive/2011/09/14/how-to-enable-remote-desktop-on-the-windows-8-ctp.aspx) other people have the option but I don't. Mine looks like the screenshot in the link except the remote access field group isn't there. I am an admin. Anyone know the reg key to turn this on?
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8_editions#Comparison_chart only the Pro and Enterprise versions of Windows 8 can host RDP. So if you don't have any of those versions you will not be able to connect to you laptop using RDP. Also confirmed on the offical Windows team blog at http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2012/04/16/announcing-the-windows-8-editions.aspx.
I'm running the Windows 8 Enterprise RTM and I can get the same dialog as in your linked blog post. There are slightly different choices but the options are there, see http://www.guidingtech.com/13469/how-to-enable-remote-desktop-in-windows-8/ for screenshots of the dialog in Win8 RTM.

Two of these posts suggest deleting the C:\Users\rethabile\AppData\Local\Microsoft_Corporation folder and trying again. The other says that you can't install on a drive that is compressed.

I have a local SQL Server 2005 running and I need to disable Windows authentication, I want that the only way to be connected to the server is by using an specific SQL user (SQL authentication).
You can't disable Windows authentication. If you don't want a Windows account to have access to SQL Server, don't create a login for it in SQL Server.
