I am unable to install SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition on Windows 8.1 Enterprise evaluation and about 3/4 of the way through the installation I get this error msg:

I tried installing as adminstrator and in compatability mode with Windows 7/Vista but that didn't work. Trying to install from the dvd or from the extracted files in my drive made no difference.
I am now wondering if there is a download link for SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition with SP2 included (i.e. not just SP2 but the whole application (5GB+) otherwise I am not sure how to install this.
