Error on sharepoint server 2010 configuration

Question

I need to install sharepoint server 2010 on my developer pc with 64bit windows 7 OS. I followed microsoft instructions on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869.aspx Let me describe you on this. I copied all the files from the CD to my D: drive. Changed the config at D:\\SharePoint Server 2010\\Files\\Setup and added the tag ''. Installed the prerequisites manually. Made specified changes to windows features, and run the setup.exe file. Selected 'Standalone' as installation type. The installation completed successfully.

While running configuration wizard, I got the message 'Configuration failed' saying 'Failed to create the configuration database'.
