I'm attempting to install Team Foundation Server 2008 on a Windows Server 2003 instance that exists under Hyper-V. The SQL Server database itself is held on the root partition of the Hyper-V server and has the Reporting Services installed (so I've solved the TF220059 error already).
After hitting "Next " after typing the name of the SQL Server I get this error:
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server Setup
---------------------------
TF220056: An unrecoverable error occurred while trying to check the status of the Team Foundation database.
Installation cannot continue. Check the install log for more details.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
The error log's stack trace makes it look like a bug in the TFS installer itself:
[03/22/10,19:14:42] TFSUI: [2] tfsdb.exe: System.IO.IOException: The directory name is invalid.

I'm running the installer as the domain Administrator, although the server is a Terminal Server in Application Mode, might that be the cause of the problems?
