SQL Server 2022 express download problem unable to install SQL Server. Exit code(Decimal): -2061893606

Question

I'm trying to download SQL Server 2022 Express, but it's giving the following error.

I checked the log and click the SystemConfigurationCheck_Report

I received the warning shown in the image above. Is the download error caused by this? I had already disabled my Windows Defender. I saw similar questions about this issue but couldn't find a solution for my problem. I would appreciate it if you could help. I can provide additional information if needed.

Hi Hi @Mehmed Aras ,

Thanks for your kindly feedback.

From the screenshot you provide, we can get the error message :

This is a known issue, from this article, we can get the solutions below:

• If you have multiple drives on this system, you can specify a different location for the database files after installation of SQL Server is complete. Make sure that drive reflects a supported sector size when querying the commands. SQL Server currently supports sector storage sizes of 512 bytes and 4096 bytes.fsutil
• You can add a registry key, which will cause the behavior of Windows 11 and later to be similar to Windows 10. This forces the sector size to be emulated as 4 KB. To add the registry key, use the Registry Editor or run commands as described in the PowerShell as Administrator section. You must reboot the device after adding the registry key in order for this change to take effect.ForcedPhysicalSectorSizeInBytes

Registry Editor

1. Navigate to .Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\stornvme\Parameters\Device
2. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then select Multi-String value. Name it .ForcedPhysicalSectorSizeInBytes
3. Modify the new value, type in . Select OK and close the Registry editor.* 4095

You can get more detailed information from the article I provide. Hope this can help you well.

Answer 2

The message Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed is a generic error that means that SQL Server did not start when Setup wanted to run configuration steps. To understand why it did not start, you need to look in the SQL Server errorlog, which you find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL16.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG.

If you see a message about 256 misaligned reads, you are running into a known issue where Windows 11 for some disk drives reports a sector size that SQL Server does not cope with. Microsoft has published an article with workarounds for the problem.

If you don't see the message about misaligned reads, feel free to upload the errorlog here, so we can look at it. You will need to rename to ERRORLOG.txt for the forum software to accept it.
