Check the Event Viewer for error log.
Also check the summary.txt file. You can attach that file here if you want was to give a look on it.

As I said in my first comment.
You can get the summary.txt file from %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log (copy and paste the bold part to your Windows Explorer).

Isn't there a C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Summary.txt file?
Or maybe a level upper: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Summary.txt

Not even in a level upper? C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Summary.txt

Or try to perform a search for Summary.txt

Windows 8 or 8.1 there is a difference. Are you using SQL Express 2008 R2 SP2? Sp2 may be required for compatibility reasons
