Hello there, Did you have a failure previous installation? If so, please uninstall the previous SQL Server completely. Maybe there have some components have been left. Please follow below steps to delete the left components: Uninstall the existing SQL Server and all the components from the add remove program. Backup the registry. Delete the following keys using regedit: --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and delete all the sub-keys referencing SQL Server.

The screenshot is useless for use. Review the installation log file for more details: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/install-windows/view-and-read-sql-server-setup-log-files?view=sql-server-ver16 The Evaluation Edition equals the Enterprise Edition; Enterpise is not supported on Windows 11 Home. It may can work or may not, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/install/hardware-and-software-requirements-for-installing-sql-server-2022?view=sql-server-ver16#operating-system-support

Answer 3

Hi @Ying Yin

If this error appears on Windows 11, it is most likely related to a system disk sector size larger than 4 KB. You can check this link to troubleshoot errors related to system disk sector sizes larger than 4 KB: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/sql/database-engine/database-file-operations/troubleshoot-os-4kb-disk-sector-size.

If it's not this error, can you check your error log for more detailed error information? By default, the error log is located at Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.n\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG and ERRORLOG.n files.
