I was working on one of SQL SETUP issue with my colleague Shaurabh Thapa where in SQL SERVER 2016 installation was failing. So we looked into the setup logs and in detail.txt we could see following information:

So we can cleary see that SQL SERVER Service failed to start and hitting an exception. We looked into the Watson dump signature and can clearly see a APPCRASH and faulting module was MSVCR120.dll with EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION exception.

Solution

We found that customer already installed Critical Update for Microsoft VC++ 2013 Runtime but issue was still happening.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3164398

We have done further research on this and later asked customer to apply following fix and after that SQL SERVER 2016 installation completed successfully.

FIX: Programs that are built in Visual C++ 2013 crash with "Illegal Instruction" exception https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/kb/3174417

 

I hope this will help.
