When trying to install SQL Server Express 2016 from here for database related software projects, I get the error message as the loading bar finishes, stating:
"Could not find the Database Engine startup handle".
I've looked and tried solutions from other questions similar to this, but with no luck.

I answered my question below as I found the answer out eventually and I feel people might be going through the same struggle! :)
The installation failed for me due to using the standard/default settings during installation. When doing this, the SQL Windows service will run under the NT Service\MSSQL$V2016 account.
After changing this login to a valid login (an existing local user), the server started correctly, and SQL Server Express 2016 installed and worked as it should..

I have found several sites and forums discussing IIS Express errors, but am having a hard time finding one specific to the issue I am having. I am running VMWare 8 with Windows Server 2008--my laptop is running Windows 7 Professional. I have already tried commenting out the HttpLogging components--as mentioned in a few posts on here--but am still receiving the error message below. I hope I am providing enough information, I will be more than happy to elaborate on anything as I have been unable to fix this problem for a few days. Here is the error I am receiving when I try to start IIS Express from the console:
I figured this out. I had the client version of .NET rather than the actual framework. Details!

On the production server when xp_readerrorlog cmd is run the size will show approx 500000 daily i have to recycle error logs the errorlogs contains messages of all the successful login and not successfull login details. i need both the information please suggest what i can do.
If you're capturing every single login and failed login into your error log along with all the other stuff that gets written to the error log, then your error log is just going to grow and there's nothing you can do about that.
If you need to capture logins and you're using SQL Server 2008 or better, I'd suggest taking a look at Extended Events. This will output to a different file, which you'll still have to manage, but it won't be filling up your error logs.
For 2005 & earlier you can do similar work with a server-side trace, but it's not as efficient as extended events. Here's an article on how to set up a server-side trace from Gail Shaw.
