Installation of SQLServer2008 might fail with below error

Detailed results:
Feature:                       Database Engine Services
Status:                        Failed: see logs for details
MSI status:                    Passed
Configuration status:          Failed: see details below
Configuration error code:      0xCD263ADC@1306@30
Configuration error description: The registry key SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RsFx0102\InstancesShares is missing.
Configuration log:             C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20090410_153833\Detail.txt

To resolve this issue:

Create a new KEY with name   InstancesShares under registry path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Services\RsFx0102\

Uninstall the failed Database engine components and reinstall the SQLServer 2008 instance after restarting the system.
