When I Try to install SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows 8 (Enterprise Evaluation), a compatibility warning massage is displayed,

Tried Get help online option but it is says No solution found, but setup starts when I select Run the program without getting help.

Do I have to install any Service Pack or Update to make it compatible or SQL Server 2008/R2 is not supported on this version of windows? and what are the effects if I run the setup ignoring the warning message?

According to Install SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 8 Beta (en-US) on TechNet, you can just click on Run the program without getting help and you should be fine.

it looks like you need to install the SP1 of Sql Server 2008 R2, here are where to download from Microsoft site: Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 R2 Service Pack 1.

Select your language and your version (32/64-bit) then, you install first the Management Studio from SQL and then the service pack.

Here is the blog where I found the solution: "Installing SQL Server on Windows 8".

I had this problem and I solved it. You need .NET framework 3.5(include 2.0 and 3.0) to install the sql server.

So, first you must install or download .NET framework 3.5 in your system
