Hi @Bianca Lima,
Thanks for your information.
We can get the error message "Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed" from the error message you provided. As a suggestion, could you please check some points so that we can try to resolve this error:
- Check if you are running the installer as an administrator, if not, switch to administrator.
- Make sure your operating system is up to date, check for available updates, and install all updates relevant to your operating system.
- Try temporarily disabling your antivirus or any other security software that may be interfering with the installation. Some security programs may block the installation of certain SQL Server components.
Please check out this article, it explains detailed steps in how to troubleshoot this issue. And I also recommend, as support in resolution and studies, reading how to Repair a failed installation of SQL Server to help with the resolution. Follow the link to resolve your issue!
However, we cannot rely on old threads completely. The above article can only be used as a reference, could you please provide detailed logs to help us narrow down your issue? Thanks for your understanding, we are looking forward to hearing from you to assist further.
Best regards,
Lucy Chen
