Solution: .Net 3.5 is required and its mandatory as part of SQL Server 2008 Installation, hence when you start SQL Server 2008 setup it will first install .Net 3.5. Actually when .Net 3.5 installs it will start downloading the CAB file from the installation location (say your SQL setup folder), for this you need to enable windows update service else it will fail. To correct this problem make sure you have not disabled windows update service.
