SQL Server installation error on Windows 11 Pro system
Hi All,
I'm facing the decimal error code while installing the SQL Server 2022(Developer edition) on my local system. I tried the few of the methods suggested which are - 1. removing all components of previously installed instance. 2. Running setup.exe file with admin access. 3. Turn off the firewall. Didn't get expected results. It would be very helpful if someone support me. Thanks in advance.
ERROR - exit code decimal 2068052377 Error Description: Invalid command line argument. Consult windows installer SDK for detailed command line help.
Regards,
Manu

- How are you running the installer?
Your error message says "invalid command line argument", implying that you're providing command line arguments the installer does not like.
I would also suggest uninstalling SSMS and the ODBC and OLE DB drivers if they're installed.Hi SivertSolem
I did it directly through setup.exe, no cmd used. I've tried uninstalling the drivers too but didn't give me expected results. I've also tried other solutions provided over internet but everytime getting different errors. Now I'm at a stage where it just says "Oops... ", no error displayed. Any idea?
Thank you.
- I can't say that I've experienced this. From different sources I find that a potential workaround is to install as a named instance.
You might get an error like "The MOF compiler could not connect with the WMI server." but it appears that's a harmless error and clicking OK continues and finishes installation.
Apparently the basic installation does not allow installing as a named instance, so download the installation media and run the setup.exe from the .iso.
Best of luck.
