SQL Server 2017 stand-alone stuck - sql-server-2017

It's second time i was install SQL server 2017 on window 10
Getting stuck on installation progress error as below
sql_inst_mpyConfigAction_Install_Confignonrc_Cpu64

Had the same issue just now. Waiting for about 30 min worked for me. I assume it was downloading Python or R packages under the hood, so disabling those options from installation could help.

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.

NPM - PM2 application disappears/uninstalling alone randomly

I have a Debian server running with Plesk.
This server hosts the pedagogical platform I created.
This platform uses WebSocket technology to allow teachers and students interactions in real time.
From the side server, a nodejs script started by PM2 manages all this.
My problem is that in a totally random way and without anyone doing anything, PM2 "uninstall" alone and the WebSocket server stops working ...
I can solve the problem easily using:
NPM Install -G PM2 and restart the script.
The hours are never the same and do not match with a cron task:
First time early December in the morning
Wednesday, December 22 in the morning
(I then create a monitoring with Uptime Robot)
Thursday January 13 at 5:12 am (GMT+1)
Wednesday, January 26 at 15:57 pm (GMT+1)
I can't find anything in log files ...
It's really problematic because we have many users and a continuity of service to ensure.
Any ideas ?
Thank you
The problem seems to be caused by Plesk which deletes the elements installed globally in /opt/plesk/node/17/bin
I changed approach. I installed PM2 locally in an other folder.
Problem solved.

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.

Run MS SQL Server Express on Linux Mint

I am aware that MS SQL Server 2016 is compatible with Linux. Despite this flavor of SQL, I am needing to run SQL Express for training purposes. Is there a method to successfully operate Microsoft SQL Server Express in the Linux Mint environment?
I think this is an interesting question and shouldn't be marked down. After searching online, i came up with his tutorial on setting up mssql server on linux. I tested on linux mint 18.1.

I installed MSSQL 2016 on Ubuntu last night. Mint is Debian based so it 'might' work. The instructions are here ...
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-setup-ubuntu
The installation process is very simple - in fact it literally took seconds, since it uses the familiar apt-get install package manager install which is available with Mint. One thing to be aware of is the requirement for openssl needs version 1.0.2 - this caught me out. I tinkered around trying to upgrade to the correct version on my ubuntu server and did have the correct version installed but MSSQL still would not install. So I created a 16.04 version of ubuntu and then it installed easily. I'm not sure if my comments qualify as an 'answer' but I'd just try and install it as if you have the dependencies I would think you'll be okay.

SQL Server Configuration Manager - Can't view Start-Mode drop-down

I have a new Windows 10 installation with SQL Server Express 2014 installed. The drop-down menu for changing the start mode doesn't show correctly:
How do I circumvent / fix this? How do I change the start mode?
(I've already restarted the computer.)
I have run into this issue a few times. It's some sort of oddity with the 64-bit version of SQL Server Configuration Manager.
The solution here is to explicitly use the 32-bit version of SSCM by navigating to "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SQLServerManager12.msc". Use that version and you should be able to see the drop down options.
