Hey there,

I see you're having some trouble with the SQL Server installation. That error can be a real pain, but don't worry, we'll try to get it sorted out.

Redownload the Installer: Maybe there was a hiccup when you were downloading the installer. It happens to the best of us. Head back to the official Microsoft site and snag that installer again.

Elevate Your Permissions: Give it the ol' right-click and "Run as administrator" on the installer. Sometimes, it just needs that extra boost of authority.

Antivirus – Friend or Foe?: I know it sounds odd, but sometimes your trusty antivirus can throw a spanner in the works. How about switching it off for a bit while you install? Don't forget to turn it back on once you're done.

Room to Breathe: Double-check if your computer has enough free space. We don’t want SQL Server feeling all cramped up.

Switch It Up with ISO: If you got an .exe file, maybe try the .ISO format next time. Mount it and run the show from there.

Let’s Peek at Those Logs: You mentioned some logs, but I can't directly look at them from here. If you could pull out any specific messages or funky codes from there and share them, I could probably give you a better idea of what's going on.

Old is Gold?: Consider giving an older version of SQL Server Express a whirl. If that plays nice, it might be a hint that the 2022 version needs some tweaks or updates.

System Check: It’s a bit like checking if you've got the right ingredients for a recipe. Double-check that your computer has what it takes to run SQL Server 2022 Express Edition.

If none of these work, there’s always the trusty SQL Server community or Microsoft support. Someone there might have the magic answer for you.

Best of luck, and I hope you get it up and running soon! 😊

Hi @Sabith Saqlain

You need to confirm that you downloaded the SQL Server 2022 media from a trusted source and that the file is not damaged.

You can look at the prerequisites for SQL Server 2022.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/install/hardware-and-software-requirements-for-installing-sql-server-2022?view=sql-server-ver16
Have you tried this:

Uninstall all the SQL instances one by one. Goto--control panel - uninstall a program - Microsoft SQL server (64 bit) - select remove option, select the particular instance, and uninstall

Repeat the same process till you uninstall all instances. Goto C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER (MSSQLSERVER indicates instances). Should not have any instances like this ex: MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER.

Restart the computer and run as administrator choose basic installation process.

Best regards,

Percy Tang

Hi Percy

Thanks for the reply

I deleted all the apps related to the SQL server and also cleaned up in the registry editor but its still not working.

Can you check the log and help me figure it out

You could try to select the option Download Media to see if that works better.

But it does sound like media is damaged. This could be due to an issue with the network connection. If possible try a different network.

Hi Erland

I tried downloading media and installing, but the zip file consists of a single file named AUTORUN, so its failing to extract the package .

My network is fine, previously i was working in SSMS, but i had to uninstall it because import and export wizard was not giving me destination (SQL native 11/ODB provider for SQL) to import my data.

Here is the installation log

Rather than Express, you could try Developer Edition where the download media is a proper ISO file.

Is this happening on your home computer or are you at work?
