Answer 1

Uninstalling isn't always enough when it comes to MS dev products, try running a discovery report:

Your error specifically focuses around :

I wouldn't go that far though, uninstall using the sql uninstaller & then eyeball program files for left over sql entries and remove those. That's worked best for me in the past without having to mess w the registry.

Answer 2

I was able to get past the error by changing the instance name. The old instance name from the uninstalled version was SQLEXPRESS, I changed this to SQLEXPRESS2012 and the installation proceeded.

Answer 3

Have you tried deleting the contents in the folder?
C:/Users/[UserName]/AppData/Local/Microsoft_Corporation.
installation again as a repair, hope this will work.
