I was having some problems with an older version of SQL Server and SSMS so I decided to just uninstall both of them and try a fresh installation of both. But I get this error 2147467259 message when I try to install SQL Server. Here is one of the files being generated from that error: Summary_Tots_20240730_180406.txt

Here is another one that might be relevant: Detail.txt

    Hello Eitham，

    According to your setup log, we got these error message ‘The system cannot find the path specified’, it seems that the account run sql server setup file do not have the permission to these folders. Please right click the SQL server setup file , then run the SQL server setup file as administrator.

    According to the summary log, you already installed six SQL server instances in your environment.

    Please uninstall them completely before install a new one as you mentioned that you want to uninstall them. You can uninstall them from Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features.
