Hello,
I recently uninstalled SQL Server and now I'm trying to install it again (SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition, Basic installation)..
The problem is, every time I do it, in the end of the installation I get a page saying "Oops, unable to install SQL Server".
I've tried to delete all sql folders and registry keys, uninstall virtually everything related to SQL Server, installing as admin, cleaning and fixing the registry, reboots, and so on... Nothing seems to be working!
Right now, the installation log states:
