when installing sqlserver 2008 sp1 on windows7, when it gets to the 'select features' part the list is empty.
I can't go past that step as I can't select anything and then the validation fails.
Man installing sqlserver2008 on windows7 is a real nightmare!
I have .net 3.5 SP1, trying to install sqlserver 2008 SP1 and its just not going anywhere.

To add a new feature to an existing instance of SQL Server, select Installation in the left-hand navigation area, and then select New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation. The System Configuration Checker will run a discovery operation on your computer.
Before you install SQL Server, review Planning a SQL Server installation. For local installations, you must run Setup as an administrator. If you install SQL Server from a remote share, you must use a domain account that has read and execute permissions on the remote share.
At the “Server Configuration” step leave the defaults and click Next. In the Database Engine Configuration window, you have the choice to select either Windows authentication mode or Mixed Mode. Select the option that will work best for your environment.
Stupid question (maybe), but have you installed SQL Server already? SP1 doesn't contain the core product. You need to install SQL Server 2008 RTM, then install SP1.
