Troubleshooting the 0x84BB0001 Error: SQL Server 2016 Setup Unsuccessful

Various methods can address this specific error code:

1. Verify system compatibility: Confirm that your computer adheres to SQL Server 2016's required specifications, including operating system, CPU, RAM, and storage capacity.
2. Temporarily turn off antivirus: Antivirus programs might disrupt the setup process. Deactivate your antivirus briefly and attempt the installation once more.
3. Initiate setup with administrative rights: Right-click the setup executable and choose 'Run as administrator' to guarantee adequate installation privileges.
4. Update your Windows: Making sure your operating system is updated with the latest Windows patches can alleviate potential compatibility hurdles with SQL Server.
5. Utilize SQL Server Installation Center: For installing SQL Server, employ the Installation Center as an alternative to the direct executable, which can mitigate setup issues.
6. Examine installation logs: Search for clues in the installation logs that might explain why the setup failed. These logs are located in the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL ServerX\Setup Bootstrap\Log directory.
7. Remove prior SQL Server versions: Prior installations of SQL Server should be uninstalled to prevent any conflicts during the new installation.
