Any specific reason that you want to install a three year old beta version?
If you are able to comlpete the installation, you will have to change
the system clock, because the beta has expired.

If you just want to play with the real thing, download SQL Express
from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=64064 or the Evaluation
Edition from
