"It depends" would be the best answer.

Depends on what Edition you are installing, the tools you have opted to install, the specifications of your system etc. The list goes on......

Who asked you that anyway??...

And of the hard drive.

I think installation on a SSD drive will be a lot faster.

And depends if you are going on a coffee break or not in between.

Don't be so quick to judge.

Maybe the interviewer just asks bogus questions to see how the interviewee would react to them.

Or maybe not 🙂

I think maybe the language barrier has jaded people in this thread. I have to agree that your original question of difference of installation time is crazy. But here it sounds like the interviewer was looking for you to identify at least two differences between 2005 and 2008. This is a completely different question than how long does each take to install.

That question makes sense.

One difference in installation is you'd have to make choices about Filestream in SQL 2008, and don't in 2005 (because 2005 doesn't have it).

Another would be Notification Services. You could install it on SQL Server 2005 but not on SQL Server 2008.
