Go to program and features or use run command and then type appwiz.cpl to open program and features. Remove/Uninstall all instances of sql server 2008 and anything related to it. Virtually anything in the list which contains sql server.
Reboot if needed. Disable firewall before installing sql server 2008 express edition with tools. As microsoft recommends do install SP1 after or once SQL Server 2008 is installed.
Checked for (in order of install) - Windows 7 unltimate -> installed dot net framework 4.0 -> installed visual web developer 2010 -> then installed sql server express 2008 (was giving problems before)
