SQL Server Express 2014 Installation error

Question

Hello everyone,

The problem I describe doesn't happen directly to me, but to a user of my software who asked me for help. Therefore I don't have direct access to the affected machine. I haven't found any solution for this specific problem on the Internet.

The problem is that the Database Engine Services and SQL Server Replication installation fails with the following errors logged in the summary:

Overall summary:
  Final result:                  Failed: see details below
  Exit code (Decimal):           -2068119551

As far as I understand it, the invalid parameter applies to ChangeServiceConfig method and the parameter which causes error is Parameter 8 which is lpPassword - please correct me if I'm wrong. But if it's so, then what password does it relate to? The engine is installed by our setup and the only password that is being set is the one to the SQL Server instance. Please give me some hints on how to remedy this problem.

Additional info: installation has been run as admin and before it the antivirus (BODYGUARD) had been disabled.

Hi @adampp ,

Suggest user uninstall the previous failed installation. You can uninstall SQL Server and then install it again by using the following steps:

1.Uninstall SQL Server by using the following steps:

At normal conditions, you can uninstall SQL Server by going to 'Programs and Features', then right click Microsoft SQL Server 2014 and select Uninstall, click Remove. On the Ready to Remove page, review the list of components and features that will be uninstalled, then click Remove to begin uninstalling.

If SQL Server cannot be uninstalled completely, you can use the following steps to uninstall SQL Server:

Uninstall the existing SQL Server Express and all the components from the control panel.
Backup the registry and delete the following keys in registry:
--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.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and delete all the keys referencing SQL Server.
Rename all the SQL Server folders in the computer.
Reboot the machine.

2.Install it again, download SQL server 2014 Express from MS official link again, run setup as administrator . Change the SQL Server service account and SQL Server Browser account to Local System.

Cathy
