Run SharePoint Server 2010 Application file, system will extract files and show the below screen, under Install > click Install Software prerequisites.
  
Click on Next in the wizard.
 
Complete the installation wizard and System will run for few minutes and display the following error message: 



Install your prerequisites software that you downloaded one by one (if possible, follow the above order as shown in the error message). Note: If you try to install Hotfixes from your Share Folder system may prompt “error code 0x80070003” please copy your hotfix files to Windows server and click Install. 

Once you get the above screen “Installation Complete”, click "Install SharePoint Server” link:
SharePoint 2010 Installation screen prompts for Product Key. Enter the Product key and press ‘Continue’. 

Read your License terms and click I accept and start Installation: 

Select Server Farm option and Click on next. Here again we can Server Type Stand-alone or Complete installation here we are selecting Complete Installation. We can also choose installation folder in File location tab here.

System will start the Installation process. 
 
System would take several minutes to complete installation and prompt for Configuration Wizard. 
 
Run your Configuration wizard and click next: 
 
In Configuration wizard click “Yes” to start IIS and SharePoint Admin, Timer service. SharePoint will start configuring the SharePoint farm.

Here select your SQL server 2008 R2 (Minimum) and provide Configuration Database name and User name and Password for the user. Please make sure to provide a user whose password does not change or expire. User must have Securityadmin, DB_owner,  dbcreator rights on the SQL server for installation as recommended by Microsoft but we suggest to provide user in sysadmin  rights on SQL to install the SharePoint.
