thi can be due to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;814132 ...
there are other undocumented issues regarding instance names not showing up

you must provide the full name as ComputerName\InstanceName

yes, you can install only a named instance, only a default instance, or upt
to 15 named instances and 1 default instance...

> 3. how to rollback my installation in case I want retry?

you have to fully uninstall it... go in control panel and use the
install/uninstall applet...
