Sql-server – SQL Server 2008 installation error: Previous releases of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008

installationsql serversql-server-2008visual-studio-2008

I got this weird error which mentions I should install VSTS 2008 SP1, during the process of installation of SQL Server 2008 developer edition. But actually I have VSTS 2008 SP1 installed. Any ideas what is wrong?

Here is my screen snapshot.
