Answer 1

Hi @Anthony,

Thank you for reaching out to the SQL forum.

The installation logs show that your SQL Server 2022 setup failed because of some important files are missing from the installation folder. This usually happens when the ISO file or extracted setup folder is incomplete or corrupted. To fix this, delete the existing installation files and download a fresh copy of the official SQL Server 2022 ISO from Microsoft website. Then extract it again to a simple path like C:\SQL2022. Make sure to run the setup as an administrator and temporarily disable any antivirus software during installation. Also, ensure you have enough free disk space and proper permissions for the installation directory. After doing this, the installation should work smoothly. For further guidance, you can check the official Microsoft documentation on SQL Server installation and setup issues.

this error is typically due to your anti-virus software blocking registry access or the registry was locked down. maybe you installed file system software that locked down the registry for the filter manager.

check remissions on registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FltMgr
