When trying to install SQL2008 R2 Developer Edition x64 on Windows 7 x64, I
am getting an Error:
2010-06-12 22:05:40 Slp:
------------------------------------------------------------

I have been finding that I'm having trouble with the Crystal Reports Server
XI installation failing when it's dealing with SQL.
So, as a thought and in case there was something wrong with my SQL portion of
the isntall. I thought ok, I'll try installing the actual MSDE application

The above problem is well known:
