We have already demonstrated in one of our screencasts how to install Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V.
There are many cases when you have already Hyper-V running on a Windows Server 2008. The first question which you have to answer in such cases is what version of Hyper-V are you running on that server. It could be the Hyper-V Beta (6.0.6001.17101), Hyper-V RC0 (6.0.6001.18004), Hyper-V RC1 (Hyper-V RC1 – 6.0.6001.18010), and of course, there is a chance that you are running Hyper-V RTM version (6.0.6001.18016).

You will need Microsoft update for Windows Server 2008 (KB950050).

In the following Screencast, you will see how to upgrade an existing installation of Hyper-V to Hyper-V RTM version.

Step 1 We start by identifying the current version of Hyper-V running on Windows Server 2008.

Step 2 In this step, we upgrade Windows Server 2008 to Hyper-V RTM.
