Which version and edition of SQL Server are you trying to install?

At which point during the installation do things fail?

In the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\nnn\Setup Bootstrap\LOG, you find one folder for each installation attempt. A starting point is to look at Summary.txt.

nnn in the path above depends on the version of SQL Server you are trying to install.

No, I can't because you have not provided enough information. If you read my answer, you can see where to look to get more information. (And, hey, it is even visible in the error message you get!)

Once you have assembled more information, but are not able to make out heads and tails of it, you can post a new Question. Do not post anything more to this thread. Your problem may be unrelated to the problem Alilrp ran into.

I found "Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed."

This means that SQL Server failed to start when Setup wanted to run post-install scripts.

You need to check C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG to see what is happening.

House rules: don't piggyback on hold threads, but please start a new thread and include relevant logs. Summary.txt, details.txt and if you have it the SQL Server errorlog.

"Initializing the FallBack certificate failed with error code: 15"

These problems are often due to that you default profile in Windows has been corrupted. I recall that I ran into this once, and I was able to recover by copying a file (NTUSER.DAT?) from another machine with the same Windows version.

No, the registry file of the default profile is not open.

Anyway, this is a Windows problem. I was able to solve my own problem with some googling, but I am not going try guide someone else on a distance, since Windows is not my expertise.

I seem to recall that you had Network Service as the service account for SQL Server. You should stick with the default NT Service\MSSQLSERVER. If this profile has been created, you may have to replace its registry file too.

i turned off my windows firewall and i gets another error code : unable to install sql server exit code -2064908287 this is the same problem?

I don't know why you turned of the firewall - I would not expect that to solve the problem.

In any case, only the error code tells me nothing. I certainly do not know them by heart.

Now you know where to find the log files, so why don't you do and read them yourself? (And if you upload them on mediafire again, I am not going to look. I don't like them splashing up a full-screen window for some computer game or whatever it was.)
