Restart Required

I am attempting to install SQL Express 2008 (from SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe)
on e new 64bit machine running Windows 7 Home Premium.

In the SQL Serve Installation Center I selected "New SQL Server stand-
alone ....". The Setup Support Rules show that "Restart Computer"
Failed and suggest a reboot.

After a restart I get exactly the same results.

I s there a flag somewhere that indicates a restart is required?

Can any one help me with this problem?

Many thanks in advance.
