SQL Server 2016 Express Installation problems.

Question

Hello,

I have been attempting to install SQL Server 2016 Express, on my computer, However it keeps failing, and it's not giving me an error message this text written below just keeps popping up and than the installer only gives me the option to close it.

Oops...

There was an error while checking Rules of Sql Server setup.

This happens every time I try to do the basic install, so I tried the custom, all it did was download the files than shut off the installer and just shuts off if I choose the option now.

I am the Admin account of my computer and there is only this account and the guest account. The only indication of the problem is the text and there is no Error Message or Number to accompany it and every time I've tried to google it none of the articles mention the text.

I'm not sure what to do or if it is even a problem on my end. Some help would be appreciated.
