It appears you're using the 32bit installer on Windows 2008 R2 which is 64 bit. More information here.

You're right that this is supported on a 64-bit system. However, you probably have the 64-bit version of SQL Server installed. According to this blog post (and several others that I saw), you have to choose the "new instance" option during install instead of adding features to an existing SQL Server installation. That should get you around the platform incompatibility issue.
