SQL Server Database Engine Services Instance Features
I'm having trouble reinstalling SQL Server Express 2022 on my computer. My Windows is up to date, and my system meets the minimum requirements. I had SQL Server Express installed before, but since reformatting my system, I’ve been unable to install it again. Each time I try, I receive an error message that only says, "Oops... Couldn't install SQL Server (setup.exe)." The log provides the following error description: "Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed. Check the SQL Server error log for potential causes."I've also tried turning off the firewall and followed the troubleshooting steps in this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/sv-se/troubleshoot/sql/database-engine/database-file-operations/troubleshoot-os-4kb-disk-sector-size?WT.mc_id=DP-MVP-5440.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue.
