Issues Installing SQL Server - Help?
I have repeatedly tried to install SQL server on my machine. I have tried the SQL Server for Developers installation, the free SQL Server and the SQL Server Express.
I have done things like disable my firewall as I thought that was the issue. I am attaching the bootstrap error message. When I have retried the install and deleted previous installations in the Registry as well as deleted and or renamed SQL Server folder.
You help will be greatly appreciated.
I have a bootstrap file, but could not find where to attach it here.
dferr3148 , please review the installation log file for more details why the installation failed.

- Hi dferr3148
what Version of Windows and which type of SSDs are you using? There are some compatibility issues which are not handled by MS yet.
Regards
JDSSD = Solid State Disk, disk without a spindle, but with chips.
The know issues are with Windows 11 and wrongly reported disk informations by the OS, which cause SQL Server installation to fail.
