I have a new Windows 10 Home machine and I want to install SQL server. I already have Visual Studio 2017 installed and SSMS 2017 (Which I initially though installed SQL).
On first try I got this error:
VS Shell installation has failed with exit code 1638
And found I needed to Uninstall the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x86) and (x64), install SQL Server, then reinstall the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x86) and (x64). As seen here
Then I got this error:
Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation
- I tried the registry key permissions from this link
- I tried editing my local group policy but Win 10 doesn't have one.
- I tried exiting from all Firewalls and Anti-malware software.
I have been trying to install SQL Server for 4 weeks now
Edit:
I found the logs but the error seems the same:
