Thanks for your question. There are several reasons for this installation error. Could you please post the error logs. The location by default is: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\160\Setup Bootstrap\Log There is a summary.txt file and many subfolders created every time the Installation wizard is started. In those subfolders, we can also find a Detail.txt file. Just sharing a video link on Installing SQL Server 2022 Developer Edition. Kindly have a look. https://youtu.be/PkrfTxWhERM Thank you!

In C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\160\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Log there is one folder per install attempt. That folder includes lots of log files. Of most interest are Summary.txt and Details.txt. Feel free to attach them. Although, I have a nagging feeling that this error message suggests that your machine is messed up. But we'll see.

Hi SRUTHY SUGUNAN, Do you have any updates? For better troubleshooting, you need provide some related files.
