If you are in the process of installing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, it seems the version you downloaded has a problem. If you downloaded the installer from a website, you probably need to download it again but from a different website. It seems the one you downloaded has a problem with one of its files. In the error message, the installer is pointing the problem to the file “setup.rll”.

This file is required by the setup file to initiate the installation but it cannot be accessed. It is either the file is corrupt or missing. If you need to use the application, try downloading Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 64-bit. This download requires 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 and comes as a pre-configured VHD.
