How to find who installed the SQL Server instance?

So who installed the SQL Server, how can you find it?

This was the question asked by an user when I was sitting in SQLPASS SQL Lounge to help the users. The question was obvious and interesting to answer. Until SQL Server version 2000 you could refer to sqlspN.log to see the contents for more information.

Whereas for the SQL Server 2005 version you can look at "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Files" directory. Also for further inofrmation refer to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143702.aspx link.
