    HI @Harish Mylappan ,

    Then you can try to uninstall SQL Server completely, please refer to this: How to manually uninstall SQL Server., make sure no previous failed installation

    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"

    -------------

    This means that SQL Server did not start when Setup wanted to run configuration scripts. As the error message says, you need to check the SQL Server errorlog to find more information. You find this file in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG.

    If you see a message about 256 misaligmed reads towards the of the log file, check this article for a known issue.

    Else you can attach the log file here, if you are not able to figure out the issue.
