Hi Experts,
I want to install SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition 32 bit on Windows 8 64 bit, I am not able to install the SQL, i tried to do in command prompt by using the below syntax but throws and error.
The arguement
'/Q/ACTION=INSTALL/FEATURES=SQL,AS,RS,IS,TOOLS/INSTALLSHARDWOWDIR/PID=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX is formatted incorrectly, The delimiter'=' is missing.
error code 0x84B40006.
Please suggest on the above issue.
Thank you all in advance.

You can't. That is an Enterprise product meant for server OSes. You need to install Developer Edition if you want to look at Enterprise Edition features on Windows 8. It's pretty cheap, although I do not think SQL Server 2008 is available anymore. You would be looking at SQL Server 2012/2014 most likely.

Are you trying to install it from the command line or are you running setup.exe and choosing install from the installation center?

I always put a space before each / character, to allow the preceding parameter to be correctly terminated. OK so I've never tried not putting a space, but all the examples on the MS site show a space before each /.
Have you installed .Net3 on your Windows 8 machine? This is required for all supported SQL Server versions. This link shows the install process http://sqlserverfinebuild.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Install%20.Net%203.5
