Got an error while installing SQL Server 2019 Developer Version

Question

hello,

Can someone help me to solve this problem, I have previously installed sql server 2019, but in the middle of the installation my laptop died, and I tried to do the installation again. But many times I tried the result is still the same as this. I've tried deleting the previous sql server installation as on this website:
https://www.sqlcoffee.com/Tips0026.htm
But still when I try to reinstall, I get an error with the exit code as shown in the picture.

And this is the summary.txt and detail.txt files of the installation I did

202942-detail.txt
202860-summary.txt

Please help me and thank you.

Hi @FaisalTmz ,

From your detail.txt, there are so many errors regarding msi file, such as:

File 'C:\SQL2019\Developer_ENU\x64\setup\x64\sql_engine_core_inst.msi' does not exist

It can seem to be corrupted files, either on the installation disk or on the hard disk, or anti-virus software is locking the msi file.

You can try to repair a failed SQL Server installation from the installation center, or use WinRAR to extract the files from .ISO image or use an ISO mounter to mount the file.

If bad luck, you can refer to this article:Restore the missing Windows Installer cache files and resolve problems that occur during a SQL Server update

Use the FixMissingMSI tool to identify and fix the missing MSIs
