Probably installing this stuff on a virtual machine first would make a lot of sense. Or even second.

This is a primary use case for virtual machine technology. It may not give you the answer, but if you can make the process repeatedly fail quickly, you are ahead of this scenario.

I'll let the other posters try to address the actual problem. It is instructive. Thanks for putting it out there.

Good stuff. I've been there.

Thanks for this article. This has never happened to me, but I appreciate your explanation of what to do if it does.

I've seen this when installing from a share that is not trusted. Another annoying issue is elevation when using a mapped drive when the elevated user is not mapped.

I created this account specifically to thank you for these steps. I went through the SQLsetup.log file and found that it was trying to talk to .net 2.x folders which I had previously disabled for vulnerability protection. fixed that and the setup ran. thank you so much for sharing your guide.
