In C:\WINDOWS\sqls tp.log there is a log of the setup program. That
file might give some clues.

For further information, it would help if you told us which operating
system you are using, and what regional settings you have. Also, please
tell if you are using any non-English version of SQL Server.

A tip is also to frequent the group microsoft.publi c.sqlserver.set up.
Myself, I install SQL Server only occassionally, so I don't have much
experience of setup problems myself.
