Oops... Unable to install SQL Server(setup.exe). Exit

help.
I've tried to delete all sql folders , registry keys, uninstall everything related to SQL Server, installing as admin, cleaning and fixing the registry, rebooting,... Still cant install. Please help. Thanks in advance! I attached image and logs

You could try use revoUnistaller to uninstall all SQL system, reboot your system and use some clean up app like ccleaner and try reinstall.

The SQL Server feature 'SQL_Engine_Core_Inst' error

For few days I am getting an issue with SQL Server 2019 Express Installation. When installing SQL Server I get an error and the server won't work. I've tried repairing it but I've got also an error here.
The following error is :
Feature: Database Engine Services
Status: Failed
Reason for failure: An error occurred during the setup process of the feature.
Next Step: Use the following information to resolve the error, and then try the setup process again.
Component name: SQL Server Database Engine Services Instance Features
Component error code: 0x84B40002
Error description: The SQL Server feature 'SQL_Engine_Core_Inst' is not in a supported state for repair, as it was never successfully configured. Only features from successful installations can be repaired. To continue, remove the specified SQL Server feature.
Error help link: (Link that doesn't work)
My SQL Server Management Studio 2018 also don't work. I've tried uninstalling and installing SQL Server but it doesn't help. I've even tried uninstalling and installing Windows but nothing to do.
I fixed the issue:
If you run into that error, try creating a Virtual Hard Drive with Disk Manager. Then install SQL Server 2019 on it and it should maybe resolve the problem. If not, read all the comments and check if something helps.
Edit: When you shut down your computer, if you restart it, the virtual disk disappears. You have to mount it again and start the database engine manually. I recommend creating a script that does this for you.

An unexpected error occurred: "EPERM: operation not permitted in Yarn

I am having problems installing new npm packages with Yarn. Every time I go on to add a new package it's throwing me this error. But when I delete my node_modules folder and run Yarn, everything works fine. Again when I try to add another package, it throws me the same error. Any solutions, I am having a headache right now.
In Windows first stop the development server and then try to install package.
I had same problem, I went into the Task Manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) and killed all the NodeJs processes.
Press "Ctrl+C" to stop the server and repeat the installation.
if you're using visual studio code, cmd, or Windows Terminal, close it and run it in administrator mode. Usually, the reason for that error message is a result of limited privilege giving to the editor or npm or Yarn if you're using that.
This is likely due to you creating your project within the windows /mnt directory structure
Rerun inside the ~/home folder
(accessible within windows # //wsl$/
did you try to open CDM as run as administrator or if with wsl terminal try to use sudo like sudo yarn
The package I was trying to install before haveing this issue was yup. So resulted to
yarn add yup --legacy-peer-deps
which worked.
Sometimes when this occurs, you may first try to uncheck node_modules folder to read only.
If it is not working try to stop the running server and install your packages and then restart the server.
Terminate or stop the server ( close and reopen Vscode) and try agin. this will work for me !!
Restarting the system which causes stopping all the processes by Node, VScode, ... solved the problem.

Install pymssql 2.1.3 in Pycharm

I'm working with Pycharm in a project to read SQL DBs ,I'm working in a windows 10 64bits workstation and I'm trying to install the module pymssql, I have already installed VS2015 to get all requirements but now each time that i try to install i got the message:
error: command 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\BIN\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2
I saw on message details the error in:
_mssql.c(266): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sqlfront.h': No such file or directory
How can i figured it out? thanks
Seems that your error is a known problem, check here.
As you can see from the last post from the link, they don't have wheels built for Python3.6, so when you try to install pymssql, the error is raised.
Still, as the post found suggests, you can try the following options:
Drop back to Python 3.5
Use the Python 3.6 wheels available here:
Try to build pymssql using the advice given in the forum link above.
If you were trying to install pymssql directly from PyCharm, I think that you should follow the options showed above but from command line
For anyone that is seeing this in 2021, pymssql only supports python 3.7 according to their own build files. Don't bother trying to use it if you are on 3.8 or higher. I'm on 3.9.1
Use pyodbc instead. This install worked right out of the box using windows server 2016 after spending about 3 hours of digging.
pip install pyodbc
hope that saves you a ton of grief...
I had the same problem and I fixed this way.
Download pymssql module from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pymssql. place the .whl file in the C:\Python38-32 folder.
Open cmd.exe
Run
cd C:\Python38-32
pip install pymssql-2.1.4-cp38-cp38-win32.whl
I had a same problem but its fixed this way.
Copied "rc.exe" and "rcdll.dll" from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x86"
Pasted "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin"
In my case helped me rollback to Python 3.8. Same problem I had on 3.10 x64

How to install pgAgent service on windows

I am new in postgreSQL database , I recently found that postgreSQL support SQL Job by pgAgent. I am using windows XP operating system.
I searched lots about pgAgent on Google and trying to configure pgAgent on machine.
Download pgAgent package in which I found pgagent.sql file after executing this file JOB(0) icon is appear on my pgAdmin III object panel. like following image.
But I am facing problem to register pgAgent service. As per postgres sql documentation following is next steps to register services but I am fail to do this. or don't know how to configure pgAgent service.
Following step from postgre sql documentaion :
The service may be quite simply installed from the command line as follows:
"C:\Program Files\pgAdmin III\pgAgent" INSTALL pgAgent -u postgres -p secret hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=pgadmin user=postgres
but I tried lot to do this, please help in how to register pgAgent service with Windows XP.
reference link of postgre sql : http://www.pgadmin.org/docs/1.6/pgagent-install.html
Please help in this , Thanks in Advance !
PgAgent is probably not installed
The pgAgent download page says:
pgAgent is a job scheduler for PostgreSQL which may be managed using
pgAdmin. Prior to pgAdmin v1.9, pgAgent shipped as part of pgAdmin.
From pgAdmin v1.9 onwards, pgAgent is shipped as a separate
application.
And then it provides a download link to http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin3/release/pgagent/
But the problem is there's only source code there. There are also SQL files in the tarball but they're useless without pgagent.exe.
How to install it
Apparently the correct way to install a pre-compiled pgAgent is with the Stack Builder installer that also happens to be the primary installation method on Windows for the PostgreSQL server itself. That's what is suggested on the official download page:
http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/
If you have already installed PostgreSQL for Windows with this method, the installer is available under the name Application Stack Builder in the PostgreSQL 9.2 folder in Windows Start Menu.
StackBuilder will normally recognize your installed PostgreSQL version(s), and suggest to install among various programs pgAgent in the Add-ons, tools and utilities category.
Once you check pgAgent and continue with the installation, it will download it and launch its setup. The setup phase includes runnning the necessary SQL statements and installing the PostgreSQL scheduling Agent - pgAgent windows service. If this step is successful, there is nothing else to do, the functionality will be available in pgAdmin for creating jobs.
What's misleading in the docs
The latest pgAdmin docs at http://www.pgadmin.org/docs/1.16/pgagent-install.html has a Service installation on Windows chapter that says:
The service may be quite simply installed from the command line as
follows (adjusting the path as required):
"C:\Program Files\pgAdmin III\pgAgent" INSTALL pgAgent -u postgres -p
secret hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=postgres user=postgres
However in the majority of cases this is not going to be of help because either:
pgAgent install is done by pgAgent setup as launched by StackBuilder and this step is not necessary.
or you have got pgAdmin alone and pgagent.exe will not be installed so this step is not possible.
pgAdmin will be successfully installed after downloading the compressed file from
https://www.pgadmin.org/download/pgagent-source-code/
there inside, you will find the file "sql\pgagent.sql"
Toss the content of this file into the Query Tool and run it. That will install pgAgent. Refresh your database connection to see the result. The tab pgAgent Jobs should have been created at the root level for your connection.
There is no need of using the INSTALL command from your command line.
I faced the same problem. I was able to get pgagent working by downloading and executing the stand-alone installation file pgagent-3.4.0-4-windows.exe from here: http://sbp.enterprisedb.com/getfile.jsp?fileid=11842
