Error when installing SQL server 2022 - Log attached

Question

Hello!

Im trying to install microsoft SQL server but im stuck.

Im getting this error page:

I have tried most of the possible solutions from different forum pages, everything from deleting files and changing the registry.

I have downloaded and run the ISO but I run into issues there as well.
I have tried to install older versions, they do not work either.

Error logs show that i have "Invalid class" but there seems to be no solution for my issue out there.

Please help me.

Error logs attached:

Cause

This issue occurs because of a known issue in the Visual C++ 2005 runtime library setup.

Note For more information about this known issue, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

2643995 FIX: "HRESULT: 0x80073715" error when you install an application by using an .msi file if the file is merged with merge modules for the Visual C++ 2005 runtime library

Solution:

Download and install the update from one of the following Microsoft websites:

973544 Description of the security update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package: July 28, 2009

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update

Use other software that includes the Visual C++ runtimes as a redistributable merge module to install the update.

Run Microsoft Update when security updates to the computer are applied. For example, run Microsoft Update to apply the security updates to Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.

Hi @Johan Karlsson

Such errors are often difficult to analyze. Can you try to completely uninstall SQL Server and then reinstall it? You can refer to this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1072293/sql-server-setup-fails-oops-there-was-an-error-whi.
