Hi Bo Xie, Few days ago, I meet this error to.
It seems that SQL installation has a confict with Office Web Components, if you already had instalOECled.
I removed it, install SQL and after that reinstall Office Web Components (this if you really need OWC) Jack Bower

This happens because the service pack for OFfice components restricts other install for SQL due to the MDAC issues. Satya SKJ
