I downloaded RC0 onto a Vista Business Dell Optiplex 755 (x86) quad
core. My directory listings for \x86 and \setup look like this:

If I try to install any of the .msi files by double clicking on them I
get "This installation package cannot be installed by Windows
Installer service. You must install a Windows service pack that
contatins a newer version o fthe Windows Installer server." Yet I just
went to windows update and everything is up to date. I read the
install notes and installed the Visual Studio 2008 Beta Service Pack
1.

Setup.exe is not in the x86 folder, it's in the root of the ISO file of SQL
Server 2008 RC0.
