i installed

SQL server 2008
IIS7
SQLSRV version3.0
Drupal 7

SQLSTATE[42S02]: [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'watchdog'.

This error occurs right after the following during Drupal 7.26 installation (shown in the error report). It hangs at the start of Install Profile:
Installation tasksChoose profile(done)Choose language(done)Verify requirements(done)Set up database(done)Install profile(active)Configure siteFinished SQLSTATE[42S02]: [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'watchdog'.

Any idea?

The watchdog table is an 11 column table used by Drupal to keep track of system events, errors, and anything else that users select to be tracked in the watchdog list.
I'd be curious... Can you check your databases and find the one that Durpal is using? Then check for the watchdog table and see if it is there and if it contains 11 columns?
Once we know what actually exists [or doesn't exist] in the DB, we might know where to look next.
