installation

Hi guys,

I've installed SQL Server 2008 R2, but connecting to my local machine in SQL Management Studio fails: alt text

Putting "localhost" or "." as the server name results in the same error.

I've narrowed down the problem: there are no SQL services installed: alt text

Bringing up the Services control panel applet shows me there are no MS SQL services installed.

Things I've tried:

Repair install of SQL
Complete uninstall and reinstall of all MS SQL products.

How can I get SQL Server running?
