Hello Amy Peng,
Thanks for your replay.
Actually i observed this action( Error: Action "PreMsiTimingConfigAction" failed ) failed log even inSQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP2 installation successes log files(Which is installed from command prompt or UI) also but there is no issues it is working fine.I think this might not be a currect root cause.
I am thinking if more than two windows installers are running at a same time this issue will happned,but in run time we can't stop Windows Installer.
Now i am downloading VSTA and i will check.
Thanks & Regards,
Reddy

Hi Reddappa,
The SP1 is required when SQL Server is installed on win8 or windows server 2012. Install or update SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 will need administrative rights on the computer.
You should check the hardware and software on your computer. And please download SQL Server 2008 express with SP2 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30438 .
Please refer to: How to install SQL Server 2008 R2 express with SP2: http://www.sqlcoffee.com/Tips0014.htm.
If it is still not work, please post me your error messages in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log".
Regards,
Amy Peng

We have an InstallShield installation package that spawns an installation of MS SQL Server 2008 R2 express SP2,But if we install SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP1 it is working fine.
When the installation package use SQL SP2 the SQL Server installation starts, extracts files etc and and begins the installation, but then freezes at the step ExecuteStandardTimingsWorkflow displayed in the installer UI.
There is no significant CPU usage and no increase in memory by any process like msiexec or similar and there is no error message displayed.
It is not possible to cancel the installation either (cancel button disabled). Reviewing the SQL Server log files shows the following lines in the Detail_ComponentUpdate log

We have an InstallShield installation package that spawns an installation of MS SQL Server 2008 R2, depending on what components the user selects to install. This has worked fine, but now we need to support Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8, so we want to
distribute SP2 of SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition instead of the original SP1. The only difference made to the installation package is to replace the redistributable of SQL Server R2 Express Edition SP1 with SP2. If the SP1 version is used Windows 2012
and Windows 8 will popup a message saying that there is compatibility issues with that version of SQL Server.
When the installation package use SQL SP2 the SQL Server installation starts, extracts files etc and and begins the installation, but then freezes at the step ExecuteStandardTimingsWorkflow displayed in the installer UI.
There is no significant CPU usage and no increase in memory by any process like msiexec or similar and there is no error message displayed.
It is not possible to cancel the installation either (cancel button disabled). Reviewing the SQL Server log files shows the following lines in the Detail_ComponentUpdate log
2012-09-04 12:01:50 Slp: Running Action: Install_SqlSupport_Cpu32_Action

Note:-
1. There no windows updates installation going background.
2. If we install SQL Server 2008 R2 express Sp1 no issues.
