Sql server setup fails : Oops there was an error while checking the rules of sql server setup

Hi @Ayan Mondal ,
Pls share more information like summary.txt or detial.txt. You can know how to get the txt from here: (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/install-windows/view-and-read-sql-server-setup-log-files?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view=sql-server-ver16)

Or you can just reinstall SQL:
1.Uninstall Software -- Control Panel-Uninstall a Program

2.Remove SQL local installation files. Normally the location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server

3.Delete the registry (WIN+R and search regedit)
Delete the files connected with Microsoft SQL Server under HKEY_CURRENT_USER—Software—-Microsoft
Delete the files connected with SQL under HKEY_LOCAL_mACHINE—SOFTWARE—Microsoft
In case missing something you can download windows installer clean up

At last, try reinstalling the SQL

Wish you good luck !

Hi ,

I had the same issue.

1. Just try uninstalling every SQL related things from your system. I had Oracle and MySQL Workbench. I deleted all of the connector files, and the SQL and Oracle application.
2. Also remove its folder from Program Files.
3. Additionally delete the registry (WIN+R and search regedit)
   Delete the files connected with Microsoft SQL Server under HKEY_CURRENT_USER—Software—-Microsoft. Delete the files connected with SQL under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE—SOFTWARE—Microsoft . Then reinstall MS server 2022.

This worked for me.

Good luck !
