sql server setup has encountered the following error cannot execute a program

You get this error while installing SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows Server 2008 R2:

Sql server setup has encountered the following error Cannot execute a program.

This is because Windows Firewall is turned on. Turn firewall off to and re-run setup.

1. Go to "All Programs > Administrative Tools" and select "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security".

2. Here  you will find a link "Windows Firewall Properties"

3. In "Firewall state" drop down, select "Off" and click OK.
