    Hi @Lathif Nur Hidayat

    Please uninstall failure installation cleanly, then download media and run the Setup from the ISO file as administrator.

    1. Remove all SQL Server components from 'Programs and Features'
    2. Backup the registry
    3. Delete the following keys in regedit: --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
    4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and delete all the sub-keys referencing SQL Server
    5. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and delete all the keys referencing SQL Server
    6. Reboot the machine
    7. download media and run the Setup from the ISO file as administrator. 9-4-1 9-4-2 9-4-3

    If it is still not work, please share us the sql server setup log include summary log and detail log for analysis. You find them in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\160\Setup Bootstrap\Log with one folder per installation attempt.

    HI @Lathif Nur Hidayat

    Welcome to our forum

    Regarding your problem you can try to uninstall SQL Server completely, please refer to this: How to manually uninstall SQL Server.

    Reinstall SQL Server and run the setup as administrator, when you come to Server Configuration Screen, please change the account name of database engine service to NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE. or you can try to set is as "NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE or NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"

    If you found this helpful do accept the answer have a nice day
