Google for each stage, and it's pretty simple:
1) Update Microsoft .NET Framework to 3.5 SP1 - Google Search[^]
2) Install Hotfix for Windows X64 (KB942288-V4) - Google Search[^]
3) Is even simpler: 2008 supports in place upgrade, provided the basic system requirements are met. So run the SQL 2008 installer, and it should just work.
