Answer 1

HI,

That error is a permissions one.  A reg change may resolve it, but before I make any suggestions I need more info.  Can you please copy the contents of the summary.txt file by following the location in this link.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi JollyGood,

 

This is a permission issue. Would you please try to run installation file as administrator? And please show us the detailed error message in summary.txt(default path:C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Setup Bootstrap\Log)

 

Best regards,

Dedmon Dai
