That's an installation I've never seen before.
When you ran the setup wizard, did you opt to install the Polybase feature? Do you plan to use Polybase? (The database in the error message is part of Polybase.)
What happens if you press Retry?
The same dialog appears again.
For the polybase: I left the default selection which is "Use this SQL server as standalone Polybase-enabled instance"
Do you plan to use Polybase? If not, deselect it entirely.
I don't know how you run the installation, but I recommend that you select the option Download media and then run the Setup wizard.
I did download the media and ran the installation, am a beginner and do not have much knowledge of polybase.
Right now another error has popped up in my screen, is it related?
If you are a beginner, you have all reason to stay away from Polybase.
I don't think this error is related. It is also one I've never seen before. When you do get this error?
What I did after that previous error is :
Is this a new issue?
So your installation of SQL Server succeeded, and then you got this error message after a reboot? I have no idea of what that is, but it may be unrelated to SQL Server.
I suggest that try starting SQL Server Management Studio and try running some queries!
Yes, okay sure I'll try that. Shall I close this dialog? It isn't showing any associated programs in taskbar or task manager.
Link in the dialog box:

Oh, more thing thing! Your installation is not complete. You should download and install Cumulative Update 15 to get access to many bug fixes and other improvements.
I don't what that is, but I note that the string "sql" is not to be found in that script.
Okay thank you so much.
That update completes like this.
And what's in that log file?

I think it wanted you to confirm your MS account, I've seen such errors before :(
