Installation Error SQL Server Express 2019

RGalindo 6

I click on the download button for the software. I get the .exe file I click on it and it runs to install The initial message reads that is is successful. And then right before it finishes the installation process I get a message that says: Oops...Unable to install SQL Server (setup.exe) Exit code (Decimal) -2061893606Error description: Wait on the Database Engine recovery failed. Check the SQL Server error log for potential causes"

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing with no change in the result.

Hi @RGalindo ,

We have not received a response from you. Please provide summary.txt or detail.txt in %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\nnn\Setup Bootstrap\Log. We can get the reason for the installation failure from these two files.

Best regards,
Seeya

Hm, this is a bit strange. The file just stops in the middle with no error message. Could something have gone wrong when you made it a PDF? Can you double-check that the last line in the file is:

2022-10-16 15:00:22.90 Server Common language runtime (CLR) functionality initialized using CLR version v4.0.30319 from C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319.

Also, this appears to been a while ago? Have you made any new attempts since then? If the file really stops there, maybe you should make a new attempt and see if we get more in the log file?

I came across the same issue. Tried the above-mentioned methods, but still facing the issue.

Some housekeeping notes for Dilan J Trowell:

You posted an Answer. Answers for, yes, answers to the original question. I have converted you Answer to a Comment.

Generally, don't piggyback on old questions, but post a new Question and describe your problem from start to end. In your case, this would involved attaching the SQL Server errorlog to the post.

You need to follow the instructions: Check the SQL Server error log for potential causes. You find this log in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG, assuming a default installation of SQL Express.

If you are on Windows 11, and you see this message at the end of the log There have been 256 misaligned log IOs which required falling back to synchronous IO. The current IO is on file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER01\MSSQL\DATA\master.mdf, you are running into a known issue. See this troubleshooting article from Microsoft for workarounds.

If you don't see this error, upload the log file here, so we can look at it. (You will need to rename it to ERRORLOG.txt for the forum to accept the file.)

Unfortunately, this was the wrong log file. We often ask for the file you posted with other installation errors, but when you get this specific error we want to see the SQL Server errorlog, which you find in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG.

(This specific error means that SQL Server did not start when Setup wanted to run configuration actions.)
