Wait on the Database Engine Recovery Handle Failed:

SQL Server 2014 Installation Error:

While I’m Installing SQL Server 2014 in Windows Server 2012r2 then I facing the Error of

“Wait on the Database Engine Recovery Handle Failed”.

I’ll give you solution of this error please follow the steps:

• First you need to Uninstall all the previous Installations of SQL Server. also you need to delete all the registry values related to SQL Server. For this I suggest you to Uninstall all the instances of SQL Server using Revo Uninstaller.  Click Here to go to download page.

• Revo Uninstaller enable you to scan for registry files and remaining files after the default uninstallation. Delete all the registry values and remaining files.

• Also Navigate to C: Program Files Microsoft SQL Server and delete all the files present in the folder. Restart your PC.

• Now Double click on the SQL Server setup to begin the installation and proceed with the default settings. When you come to Server Configuration Screen, Change the Account Name of Database Engine Service to NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE and continue installation and it will successfully install all components without any error.

• If, after changing the Account Name to NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE, you are getting validation error it means that your previous installation files of SQL Server are not completely removed. Try to change the Instance name of the SQLServer. Also delete all the registry files of previous installations.

• This simple solution worked for me straightway. Let me know whether your problem is solved or not by commenting below.
