Error writing to file when installing SQL Server - sql-server-2008-r2

I got this error in installing SQL Server 2008 R2:
The following error has occurred:
Error writing to file: Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Controls.DLL. Verify that you have access to that directory.
What should I do?

Try re-installing SQL from command prompt.

Please install Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0 from here and try installing SQL Server 2012.

"su: cannot open session: Module is unknown" error when starting JasperServer 8.0.x Community Edition

I'm having some issues after installing JasperServer Community Edition 8.0.
When I try to run ctlscript.sh start, I get the following error message:
su: cannot open session: Module is unknown
<INSTALL_PATH>/postgresql/scripts/ctl.sh : postgresql  could not be started
and the PostgreSQL included in the installation does not start.
I tried debugging the startup code, and it seems that the issue is in file <INSTALL_PATH>/postgresql/scripts/ctl.sh, at line 63:
su postgres -c "$POSTGRESQL_START"
Just to let you have the complete context, I already have a Jasper Server at version 7.8 running on this server, using the same postgres user as the new 8.0 one. I'm not sure if it's a session issue.
Could you please help me figure out what's the problem?
Thanks a lot
Edit: I forgot to mention that the server is running RedHat 8.6

Cannot create new DB in SQL Server 2008 R2

After right clicking on DB and trying to create a new DB this is the error I am getting
What am I missing? I tried re-installing SQL Server 2008 R2 already. Any other ideas?
It seems to me that you have an issues with .NET framework version. AFAIK, SQL Server 2008 needs .NET 2 and I'm not sure how is it working on your machine with .NET 4.0.3.
You can try to execute following query:
select * from sys.dm_clr_properties
and see which version you are using in SQL Server. For more details read here

Unable to upgrade to Microsoft SQL Server2008 R2 RTM - Express with Advanced Services

I am trying to upgrade my current Express edition to Express with Advanced Services for supporting full-text search.
The current system setup is:
OS version: Windows server 2008 R2 web server 64 bit
SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, SP1, v10.50.2500.0
I have downloaded the SQL Server with Advanced Services. I am unable to upgrade the edition. The installation step goes without any issues and even getting Edition upgrade completed page. But once I click the close this page, an error will pop up.
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error: Invoke or
BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has
been created.
Can some please assist me here to the right direction?
I could see that the version of SQL Server Express with Advanced Services is 10.50.1600.1. Is this the cause? So should I downgrade the sp1 to normal Express r2 edition before upgrading?
Downloaded link for the Express with advanced services http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=25174
I got it working finally!!
I was getting the below error previously. It is a bug and is related to UI. So i have upgraded using the command line that too in QUIET mode to prevent any UI intervention.
"SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created."
Following are the steps i used:-
Downloaded the latest sp1 for SQL Server 2008 r2 with Advanced Services (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe) from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26729
Extracted the SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe to D:\SQL2008
Open command prompt as "Administrator"
Executed the following commands
D:\sql2008\setup.exe /ACTION=editionupgrade /INSTANCENAME=MyInstance /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=SQL,RS /INDICATEPROGRESS /Q
*MyInstance is your sql server instance name
*/INDICATEPROGRESS will show the setup progress to command prompt(For a confirmation :) )
You can follow this doc for more setup parameters
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259(v=sql.105).aspx
Verified the upgrade has been successful.
Unfortunately FULL-TEXT Search feature was not enabled.
So Run the setup.exe as normall(double click) and added "FULL-TEXT Search" feature to the existing instance.
Everything works fine now. Thank you all.
I can verify that this bug and the same resolution also apply to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP2 v10.50.4000.0
