Trying to install SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition on my laptop.
I keep getting an error about cannot write out the XML file.
SQL Server setup encountered the following error. There was an error
generating the XML document. Error code 0X84B10001
I am running the setup.exe as administrator of the box.
What can I do to get around this please?

I found the issue. I had no password on my computer. I finally found the sql server error log and it was giving more detail about a Cryptographic Exception doing something with the registry. I then added a password in, and now it's installed and working fine.
Crazy error, but I understand why you wouldn't want this situation.

Tried this and other fixes. Apparently this error message applies to many different problems. What worked for me was to create a new user with admin privileges. Login as that user, then install.

Problem statement
I have installed SQL Server, but when I try to run: net start MSSQLSERVER on the command line, I get this error:
The service name is invalid. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2185

Also, I tried using sc sdshow MSSQLSERVER in both CMD and PowerShell (run and not run as Admin) but it fails because of this:
[SC] OpenService FAILED 1060: The specified service does not exist as an installed service
I know that I didn't rename the server to something else because I was never presented with the option to do so.
(Reposting my comment as an answer):
It sounds like your installation failed - or you didn’t select the database engine when you installed it. Re-run the installer.
You can review the installer setup logs to see if and why it failed: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/install-windows/view-and-read-sql-server-setup-log-files?view=sql-server-ver15
Look at %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\nnn\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Summary.txt.

I am trying to install SSIS in SQL Server (not the SSIS in Visual Studio). And the way I see this should be done is with SQL Server installation center. However try as I might, I can not find it. I saw in this (https://youtu.be/reamHZ4hKdU) YouTube video to click on setup, but I can't find that either. Where can I find SQL Server Installation Center?

For some reason I didn't think of this. I am on Window Server 2012 R2 and when I did a search for Sql Server Installation Center it came up. Thank you Jacob H for your help.

I am unable to install SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition on Windows 10 Pro.
Below is the error which I keep getting even after troubleshooting steps that were taken by Google suggestions. Can somebody have a look and help me to proceed?
Error description: The MOF compiler could not connect with the WMI server. This is either because of a semantic error such as an incompatibility with the existing WMI repository or an actual error such as the failure of the WMI server to start.
Check out the solution here: mof compiler problem
Also, consider using a Docker Container instead of a native installation

I am unable to connect to a server in Microsoft SQL Server 2014. As you can see in the image below there doesn't seem to be any Server services. Any idea what I could be missing to make this work? Also in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio I tried different types of Server names, like COMPUTER_NAME\SQLEXPRESS and still does not work.
I think you have not completed the installation of sqlserver , if full installation is complete you can find sql server in (win+R)and search ssms after that you can open through it.

I am start getting the following error today. Is this because of Azure services are down?
PDOException: SQLSTATE[IMSSP]: This extension requires either the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client (SP1 or later) or the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client ODBC Driver to communicate with SQL Server. Neither of those ODBC Drivers are currently installed. Access the following URL to download the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client ODBC driver for x86:
No. That error indicates that you have a connection configuration/version issue. The error occurs before the call out to the service.
