Various causes exist for the issue; precise logs are required for troubleshooting.

e.g.Detail.txt

The default path is as follows：

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\160\Setup Bootstrap\Log\2024XXXX_XXXX*Detail.txt*

You're encountering error code -2147467259 during SQL Server 2022 installation, which typically indicates a missing file. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot:

Run the installer with administrative privileges

Verify file path - Check for Typo Error

Check for conflicting software - Existing software might interfere with the installation

Repair existing installation - If you have a previous SQL Server installation, attempt a repair using the "Maintenance" option within the SQL Server 2022 setup
