the screenshot seems to tell that you are trying to install ADNM with the MSDE installation package, that package is not supported anymore on 2008, its been replaced with 2005 express or 2008 express.

can you described exactly which steps you do per screen from the installation (which options you chose and all)...

well the screenshot tells that you are trying to install the MSDE version.

you probably downloaded the ADNM version with the SQL in it. In that installer you can choose to install with MSDE or with your own SQL and it will give you the ability to fill in the database servername (+ instance) and the SA account password.
i believe you possibly confused this step as bein the sql database server that you installed??

did you do this:

install win2k8
install sql server 200x  with its own instance for avast
start ADNM installer
  choose to fill in the database + instance?

you could download the ADNM installer WITHOUT the MSDE package (which means you are forced to give the name and instance of the db server) maybe you could try that too?
