I was using 2018 ssms with sql server and it worked up to a few days ago.
I've tried several ways to fix this. I ran repair setup and goes thru the repair but still have the issue. I uninstall and reinstall. I check service.msc and and tried to restart and it says file not found. When I check the sql service I noticed the path it is pointing to is not there. I tied looking at the ssql config and could find it . Untill I found it in win32 folder I tried to run and it can't pin mmc. Not sure what to do from here

    I figure it out it was actually right in front of me
    click drop down for browse for more
    click on database engine
    select new name of server
    ****\SQLEXPRESS
    1a) I backed up my registry
    1b)To get sql server to install I had to delete it from the registry.
    2)I remove all downloaded files from program file folder
    3) I did a custom install and I didn't include the first three features for the share instance
    4) I check and saw that ssqlexpress was running in service.msc
    4) I then went back in and installed the data service engine (first additional shared feature you can select)
    5)re download ssms
    6)check cmd make sure ssql was still running
    7)I also look at the ssql config to make sure all the configurations were there
    8)finally I check the box (instructions above and I saw that there was a new server name)

    It was a lot of jumping thru hoops that I shouldn't have to do. There something wrong with the basic install.

    I look in the summary text and I see a warning and a failure. The warning is for the anti-virus which I turned off. The other is for database services. Not sure how to fix.

    I also notice none of the mcssql folders are in the c:program files. The last folder is the client sdk.

    This is in the sq_engine_core_cou64_1,.log

    I got it to install with the exception of the error in 3. I tried that and below didn't work. It's there and running but when I tried to open it on SSMS it can't find the server. I restarted in service.msc and I changed the log on to local. Just can't get it to connect.
    Thanks
    John
