Do you have sufficient space to install the Windows Server?
Try perform a Disk Cleanup.

To Reza Ameri, Thanks. On both machines Server 2019 were installed until ca. 2 months ago. Since then, various 2022 installations took place w/o problems. Machine 1 free space: A:\424 GB, C:\357 GB, D:\424GB, machine 2 free space: A:\62.2GB, C:\359GB, D:\476GB,

Why? See no reason for this.

- Reza_AmeriDec 14, 2021Silver ContributorIn case you have sufficient space you don't need Disk Cleanup.
Have you check the installer log files?
They are located on:
C:\WINDOWS\setupapi.log
C:\WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setupact.log
C:\WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setuperr.log
C:\WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\PreGatherPnPList.log
Assuming Windows installed on the C: drive.- Marcel_SchneiderDec 29, 2021Copper ContributorThere are more logs. In C:\windows.~bt\sources\panther\setuperr.log: IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY failed: 0x1 and SP SPGet VhdBootInfo: Failed to query storage property. Error: 080070001
In C:\windows\panther\scanresult.xml: ACTIVA~[n], cannot find volume name for \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\Harddisk[3/4] Partition[3/4]
Disk 3 is C:\drive and 4 its mirror.
In C:\windows\panther\setupact.log and C:\windows\panther\setuperr.log:
IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY failed: 0x1.
To repeat: The installation message was: message "We can't tell if your PC has enough space to continue installing Windows Server, Try restarting setup." Probably synonymous with "we don't know" or "we are not able". Previous 3 versions installed flawlessly: 22463, 22483, 22509. Only 22518 did not work. Will wait for a new version.

If yes, then open start and search for feedback in the Windows 10 and open the Feedback Hub app and select the Windows Server and upload your log files and report this issue.
