Hi
Trying to repair the SQL 2008 Enterprise server after my Sharepoint installation showed some issues with SQL Express. I'm getting the below error when I start the setup from Start/Prog.../Sql installation center or from Program/Features Setup or even from a .iso setup.exe, I always get the below error. I know that I may have messed up the c:\Windows\Installer folder when I moved the files to another drive and moved them back when I needed some space on C:. but, I'm pretty sure I moved all of the files back, but apparently some cached setup files may be missing or corrupted.
How do I correct this? I'm willing to Uninstall the whole SQL Server and start over again... Any and all help is greatly appreciated. I spent several hours trying to resolve it myself.
OS: Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit and it also has some SQL 2012 components installed on it.

Below error is what started this wild goose chase, I got this when I was trying to install Sharepoint server and this is from Sharepoint setup error log...........

rerun SQL Server Setup.
