What we know / I've tried so far:
It failed during installation. Everything else seems to be installed correctly except for "Database Engine Services" (Ignoring server replication).
The installer sent me here, but this solution doesn't seem to work either.
The SQL Server service doesn't start.
The following screenshot is what I see when I click on the repair:
Looking through the logs, this is the repair error description: The SQL Server feature 'SQL_Engine_Core_Inst' is not in a supported state for repair, as it was never successfully configured. Only features from successful installations can be repaired. To continue, remove the specified SQL Server feature.
Thank you!
I couldn't install SQL Server 2019 Developer as well because of other reason below:
A computer restart is required. Please restart your computer and try
the Basic installation again.
So, I restarted my Windows PC, then I could install SQL Server 2019 Developer.

I am trying to install SQL Server on my Windows 10 PC. I am a beginner in SQL Server. Every time I install, I get a failed installation for the Database Engine Services. I don't know what the the issue is.
I have tried installing it multiple times. Repairing the software also does not work.
Here is the error that I found in the Summery Log File. Please help:
The SQL Server feature 'SQL_Engine_Core_Inst' is not in a supported state for repair, as it was never successfully configured. Only features from successful installations can be repaired. To continue, remove the specified SQL Server feature.

SQL Server Migration Assistant for access hangs after selecting MS Access database, it just shows 0% and nothing happens. Up to this point, everything worked fine, but after I configured encrypted connections on the server with a TLS certificate, for some reason starts to hang at 0%. At the same time, SQL Server Management Studio connects over an encrypted connection without issues and no other issues were[enter image description here noticed anymore.
Perhaps this information will help someone. I was able to solve my issue in the following way. I uninstall SSMA first, then uninstall Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable. Rebooted the machine, downloaded it again, and installed first SSMA then Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable.
BTW, what I reported earlier was on a Windows 10 machine. Just tried on a Windows Server box and did not run into any problem. That Windows Server box had the most recent defender patch, a slightly different version of course. Version 1.343.352.0
The other week I installed the latest version of SQL Server and Management Studio. In the Server Name box was a long name made up of some path and other parts however it has now disappeared and reading all these answers has not helped. I downloaded two backups of databases from a live server and restored them down here. I could access them and everything was fine until the server name disappeared and I have no idea (none of the ones on here work) how to get it back.
If I try localhost, 127.1.1.0 or . as the server name it doesn't work the error I get is:
A network or instance-specific occurred whilst establishing connection to SQL Server....Provider: Named Pipes Provider, error 40- could not open connection to SQL Server
If I go into services I only have SQL Server Browser and SQL Server VSS Writer. Under Browser it is disabled. If I start it or tell it to start on delayed or manual or just start it, it starts okay and then two seconds later its stopped again with no error message.
If I got to CMD and type (under) I get (under that)
C:\Windows\system32>SQLCMD -L
Servers:
;UID:Login ID=?;PWD:Password=?;Trusted_Connection:Use Integrated Security=?;
*APP:AppName=?;*WSID:WorkStation ID=?;
No list of servers which another answer suggested.
I cannot find under services a MS SQL Service for some reason.
Everything was working fine the last time I came to do some work on this so I don't know if some virus was detected that removed the service or something.
I had two databases to connect to and run queries against and try to get a Windows Service working again locally but I can't get the DB to work.
I am on Windows 8.1 64bit laptop with enough diskspace.
If I go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn and double click sqlservr.exe, I get the error
Your SQL Server Installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (Error getting Instance ID from name) Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
Is it a case of me having to uninstall Management Studio and restarting again? I don't know what could have corrupted it but I need it working.
Should I just use the SQL Server 2017 Configuration Server to see if that can fix it or do I need to delete whole directories or "uninstall" from "programs and features" and try to install it again?
Still have no scooby to why the server name disappeared in the first place. Anyone got a clue?
SQL Server should appear in Services (you should not start it by double-clicking sqlservr.exe). If it doesn't appear anymore, you should reinstall SQL Server. After that you may attach the MDF and LDF files of your user databases, if they are still available (but in your case, you can also restore the backups again).
It seems your SQL server is not installed properly or corrupted now.
If the SQL Server installs on any machine there is a service named 'Sql Server(MSSQLSERVER)' or similar must be there and in 'Running' mode to connect to the database.
I've inherited the job of maintaining an application which uses a local SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Express database as a back-end. I successfully installed the application some months back after upgrading to Windows 10 so that I could start testing and development, but after reformatting recently, I've been unable to get the database running. I'm using the exact same installer, and so far as I can tell, everything else configuration-wise is the same, with the exception that I'm now on a newer W10 insider build.
The application installer installs SQL Server 2008 R2 with the following parameters:
/TCPENABLED=1 /ACTION="INSTALL" /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE="automatic"
/SECURITYMODE="SQL" /SAPWD="password" /INSTANCENAME="app"
/FEATURES=SQLENGINE,REPLICATION /BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic"
/SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
/INDICATEPROGRESS /QS
The installer is built using Advanced Installer, and is configured to run a database setup script after installation has completed, but when it reaches this step the database times out and the install fails. To test the database I tried using a UDL file, and though the database itself is visible, when I attempt to test the connection I get
"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider.
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or
access denied."
I've tried absolutely everything I can think of to fix this problem. I've removed all traces of every version of SQL Server from my computer, purged the registry of any remaining keys, and deleted any remaining directories. I've checked and restarted all SQL services, tried different SQL service accounts, different versions of the SQL installer, ran the installer(s) as an administrator, ran them in compatibility mode, and checked log files. I haven't found anything helpful on StackOverflow or on Advanced Installer's forums. Nothing's worked, and I'm completely out of ideas at this point.
According the MS only SQL server 2012 SP2 and up are compatible with Windows 10.
You might try this instruction to install SQL express 2008 R2, but I never tried it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUCbvfFEO34
When I try to create a new Maintenance Plan in SQL Server, I get the following warning:
The action you attempted to perform on
a remote instance of SQL Server has
failed because the action requires a
SQL Server component that is not
installed on the remote computer. To
proceed, install SQL Server 2005
Management Tools on the remote
computer, and then try again. For more
information, see "How to: Install SQL
Server 2005 (Setup)" in SQL Server
2005 Books Online, or find the article
on MSDN at

. (ObjectExplorer)
However, the tools are installed, AFAIK. I'm connecting to the local machine. Here's a screenshot of both the error message alongside SQL Server telling me it won't install the management tools because they are already there.
(previous step here)
Any ideas?
Ah - nevermind on this. The response is simply a bit misleading. It's only complaining about part of what I was asking to install. When I decided to progress, it did in fact install some things.
