MS CRM 4.0 installation with SQL server 2008 R2 on WIN server 2008

I was trying to install MS CRM 4.0 on a windows server 2008, where I had SQL server 2008 R2 installed on it. Now I followed all the steps mentioned in the Microsoft KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950100

Everything seems to be fine, until I got a error saying "Service msftesql was not found on computer 'name'.
The specified service does not exist as an installed service".
Then after long hours of research found out that SQL server 2008 uses a different name for the Service msftesql".

Solution:
- Run > Regedit
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
- Rename MSSQLFDLauncher Folder to msftesql
- Reboot System
- Administrative Tools > Services > SQL Full-text Filter Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER) and START the service
- Now try installing CRM, it goes fine.
- Rename back msftesql Folder to MSSQLFDLauncher.
- Restart the server.

Hurray !!! CRM got installed.
