I am installing sql server 2008 enterprise on my Windows Vista.

Your sql server installation completed with the failures.
1 Wait on the database Engine recovery handle failed. Check the SQL Server error log for potential causes.

2 Warning: Setup has detected a non canonical discretionary access control list (DACL) on directory 'C:\program files\microsoft sql server\100\COM\'. Please verify your security settings and make corrections if needed.

Regarding point 1: I have gone through some discussion in forums around however, they are discussing either of the two things i.e. "this problem occurs when we upgrade from Microsoft SLQ server 2005 to 2008" or "when we changed the sa to some other name".

I not upgrading sql server 2005 to 2008 and neither I am aware of an instance during installation where I have changed the sa to any name.

Please assist me with how I can get rid of this problem and successfully complete the installation. I need to learn sql server shortly.

According to this:

You can't install enterprise on Vista. It needs to be installed on a Server OS.
