    No code or snippets at all is preconfigured in the installation, after I install the software I have to run a Setup Assistant and this is when I get the error.

    Then you will need to talk with the person or vendor responsible for that Setup Assistant and ask that person to troubleshoot in what situation that installation package might say "Test failed".

    Please try this troubleshooting guide. Set encrypt option to yes (Encrypt=Yes) if your are connecting to Azure SQL instead of SQL Server. Try turning on/off the "Trust server certificate" option.

    If you are trying to connect to named instance of SQL Server make sure you connect using computername\instancename and enable SQL Server Browser Service.

    Make sure you enable TCP for the SQL Server instance.
