I cannot install MS SQL Express 2019 or 2014, can someone help? Seems like a common issue but I have tried the common solutions found here and other places online.
Windows Server 2016 (even though log says 2012)
I have tried installing SQL Server Express 2019 about 5 times with different tutorials online. No success with the same error. I just tried SQL Server 2014 Express and same error. I've tried about 5 different names including creating a local admin user "SQL" and trying that during the configuration section of the installation process.
If it matters, I am running this as a virtual machine using bhyve (FreeBSD)
Below is my log. Any help is greatly appreciated.
