This is your problem. The server editions (Standard and Enterprise) of =
SQL Server do not install on to desktop operating systems. If you want =
to install SQL Server onto your desktop operating system you will need =
to install the Personal Edition, the Developer Edition, or a trial =
edition.

You are trying to install SQL Server onto an operating system that it =
does not install on.
