Install SharePoint 2007 SP2 on Windows 2008 R2
 
You cannot install Office SharePoint 2007 or Office SharePoint 2007 with SP1 on Windows 2008 R2. Only SharePoint 2007 SP2 or Windows SharePoint 3.0 SP2 can be installed on Windows 2008 R2. There is no fully packaged SP2 installer to download.
 
If you download the fully package SP1 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=3015FDE4-85F6-4CBC-812D-55701FBFB563&displaylang=en and run the installer, you will get an error to ask you to reference solution in KB 962935, but there is no such KB.
 
Okay, here is MS SharePoint Team Blog that explains everything. I wondering why they cann't just put up an installer for everybody? Are they too busy with 2010?
 
By referecning next two more links, here are my steps to install SharePoint 2007 SP2 with June 2009 Cumulative Updates on a clean Windows Server 2008 R2 machine.
 
 
1. Download SharePoint 2007 with SP1
OfficeServerwithSP1.exe
 
2. Download SP2 and Updates
Referencing June Cumulative Update Packages Blog and download
Since I am only using "en-us", I don't need the language packs and I only download 64bit versions. After the download, try to rename the packages as
1_wssv3sp2-kb953338-x64-fullfile-en-us.exe
2_officeserver2007sp2-kb953334-x64-fullfile-en-us.exe
3_office2007-kb971620-fullfile-x64-glb.exe

4_wss-kb971538-fullfile-x64-glb.exe
5_office-kb971537-fullfile-x64-glb.exe

Download the above files to the same installation folder
 
3. Extract SharePoint2007 with SP1
From command line, do next
OfficeServerwithSP1.exe /quiet /extract:.\OfficeServerwithSP1
 

4. Delete the "Updates" folder under "SharePointWithSP1" folder.
 

5. Extract SP2 and Updates
1_wssv3sp2-kb953338-x64-fullfile-en-us.exe /quiet /extract:.\OfficeServerwithSP1\updates
2_officeserver2007sp2-kb953334-x64-fullfile-en-us.exe /quiet /extract:.\OfficeServerwithSP1\updates
3_office2007-kb971620-fullfile-x64-glb.exe /quiet /extract:.\OfficeServerwithSP1\updates
4_wss-kb971538-fullfile-x64-glb.exe /quiet /extract:.\OfficeServerwithSP1\updates
5_office-kb971537-fullfile-x64-glb.exe /quiet /extract:.\OfficeServerwithSP1\updates
 
6. Delete the "wsssetup.dll" file under the "SharePointWithSP1\Updates".
 
7. Run the "setup.exe" under "SharePointWithSP1".
 
The process can be scripted as in "extract.cmd"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OfficeServerwithSP1.exe /quiet /extract:.\OfficeServerwithSP1
rd /s /q .\OfficeServerwithSP1\updates
1_wssv3sp2-kb953338-x64-fullfile-en-us.exe /quiet /extract:.\OfficeServerwithSP1\updates
2_officeserver2007sp2-kb953334-x64-fullfile-en-us.exe /quiet /extract:.\OfficeServerwithSP1\updates

8. For SharePoint Basic Installatoin which use SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
Install SharePoint 2007
Before run configuration wizard, update SQL Server Express Edition to 2005 SP3 first.
run the configuration wizard.
 
9. MS SQL 2008 on Windows Server 2008 R2
