Failed to Install SQL Server 2019 in Windows 10, Services doesn't show

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2019 in my work machine, using windows 10 Enterprise. I have already tried the following:

  • Running the installer as Administrator
  • Ensuring Windows is updated
  • Not installing R and Python packages
  • Downloading the installer and picking the "Express Core" option to install a reduced version.

What is happening? When the installer is working at some point it closes and doesn't show a "installation complete" window. However, if I look for "SQL Server 2019" I can open it but the services doesn't show. See image bellow:

I have ran a Discovery Report and shows the following:

I have also check sector sizes: PhysicalBytesPerSectorForAtomicity : 4096

I have attached the log summary, please let me know if there is something else I can try. Thanks!

    There is also a file detail.txt with more details about the installation.

    However, since this is a corporate machine, I think you should talk with your IT department. My gut feeling is that they have anti-malware software that does not find some component on the white-list for your machine and kills Setup.

    Hi @Luis Aaron Aviles Robles ,

    According to your summary log, you did not install SQL server 2019 successfully. Your installation seems stopped after checking rules. Your installation did not have the process of feature selection, instance configuration, server configuration, etc.

    Please follow below steps and read the detail steps from this blog Step By Step Installation Of Microsoft SQL Server On Windows System. This blogs share us the screenshots of detail installation steps.

    1. Please download SQL server 2019 Express from this MS link.
    2. Run run the download file, please choose the third option – Download Media.
    3. Run install media file (ISO file) downloaded in above section as administrator.
    4. Then follow steps of SQL server installation center wizard to install SQL 2019 Express. You can refer to the blog that I offered above.

    This blog share us the steps of installing SQL 2019 developer, installing SQL 2019 Express is same as this, the only difference is that choose Express edition during installation.
