    In that screenshot, there is a path to a folder. In that folder there are log files from the installation attempt. Start with summary.txt. Then you can at least find out which component that is failing. Then you can try detail.txt or the log file for the component that fails first.

    Yes, some of these log files are very verbose, and it is not easy to find the cause. But at least you can try rather than giving up directly at this step.

    Hi @MuhammadHassan-7017,

    Could you please share us SQL Server Setup log within %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\150\Setup Bootstrap\Log as Erland mentioned? Please refer to View and Read SQL Server Setup Log Files.
    With more detail we could work on the issue. In addition, here is a thread which might help.

    Best Regards,
    Amelia
