SQL Server 2008 std 64bits setup failes on Windows 2008 server std

Many attempts to install SQL Server 2008 standard on a particular server keeps failing.
- All prerequisites are OK
- we tried to use as many defaults as possible exept the locations of the databases themselves
- We did not need to install reportservices and analyses services
- We used an account with admin rights
- The host is not a DC nor member of an AD.

After a while we keep getting this error:

The following error has occured:
Method failed with unexpected error code 32
Click 'retry' to retry the failed action, or click 'cancel' to cancel this action and continue setup

Retrying keeps popping up the same message 9not that strange...)
Canceling the actions let the setup continue, but afterwards the engine is not installed, only the selected options, tools and so on.

I found something in the Application eventlog (multiple entries):

-initerrlog: Could not open error log file ''. Operating system error = 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).
Unfortunately i have no clue which ppath this should be, we use setup with admin rights so all paths should be accessable

Next message occurred three times:
-.NET Runtime Optimization Service (clr_optimization_v2.0.50727_64) - Failed to compile: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\dtsinstall.exe . Error code = 0x800700d8

and a warning:
A provider, SQLServerEventProvider, has been registered in the Windows Management Instrumentation namespace root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ServerEvents\MSSQLSERVER to use the LocalSystem account. This account is privileged and the provider may cause a security violation if it does not correctly impersonate user requests.

I have tried to use different accounts (local system, a local user account) to authorize the sqlserver services with.


We are becoming a bit desperate, all we want is a normal standard SQL 2008 box, no clustering or anything fancy

Please help!!!
