Installing WebSphere Application Server 8 (Beta) was smooth. I was expecting some challenges, but encounted none.
1) First download the software. It seems that no matter what you choose to download, you will have another chance to make more choice when you launch the installer.
2) Unzip the files into your temp folder.
3) Launch the IBM Installation Manager in the temp folder (install.exe).
4) Now, you may get a chance to provide your IBM ID and password and make choices between IBM HTTP Server 8, IBM WebSphere Application Sever 8, IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment 8. You want to choose WebSphere Customization Tools as well.
5) Follow the prompts of the installer and install the sofware that you want.
6) Use the WebSphere Customization Tools to launch Profile Management Tool and create your server(s).
7) Check the logs files to see if the installation is clean.
8) Use the First Steps GUI to verify the installation.
9) Launch the Admin Console that uses the same ports as WAS 7 (9080 or 9043) to verify the applications are running as a way to verify installation.
10) Use "hello", "snoop" and "hitcount" to verify installation.
