I tried installing the shiny new EMC Documentum 6.6 after my suggestion to an EMC forum that we should simplify Documentum installation. Unfortunately, we could wait another release as things didn't go any easier on 6.6, the introduction of support to Windows 2008 64bit made it a lot harder.
For those lost in the dark, here are the exact step-by-step procedure to get it right. Any deviation from this procedure will guarantee a failed installation.
1. Install Windows 2008 64bit
2. Install Windows Service pack 1
3. Install MS SQL Server 2008 64bit mode
3.1 then create a CASE SENSITIVE instance (on the next tab called "Collation" after you are prompted for SQL Agent User)
4. Install MS SQL Server 2008 SP1 64bit, get it from here
5. Install MS SQL 2008 Command Line utilities from here
6. Create an ODBC entry but do not use the ODBC from Control Panel. Run the program from "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe"
7. Install Documentum 6.6 (as you normally would)
8. Create a new Repository
I got the procedures from EMC Community thanks to Laurence Hart for his "Pie on Content Management" and Powerlink
