this allowed me to install it. I got one more question regarding this 2008 r2 server.
Whenever I go to an https site, I get the message there is a problem with this websites security certificate. then I have to continue to the website (not recommended)

If it is happening every time it is either one of two things IMHO (sure others will have others) 1) something wrong with your IE install (suggest you uninstall it and then reinstall it after a reboot) or 2) the sites you are going to actually do not have up to date or verifiable security certificates. If you know these sites, are well known and reputable sites you could ignore the warning but I would not do anything on these sites that you want to be secure, like banking or stuff like that

When you get the certificate error STOP right there do not proceed to the site until you've examined the certificate or when you continue the very first thing you should do is click on Certificate error and view the certificate and check that out.. it is a very bad habit to continue on certificate errors. check the certificate path, and the general settings. Check that things match up..
