In the "Installation Rules" Section, I got the error "Rule "Previous releases of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008" failed." as shown below

Then i clicked on the failed link, which is next to the rule.it shows the following popup Message

---------------------------
Rule Check Result

Rule "Previous releases of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008" failed.


A previous release of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 is installed on this computer. Upgrade Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 to the SP1 before installing SQL Server 2008.

OK
