Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed!! SQL Server 2012 installation
Ok, after 6 hours of struggle and 'googling' I could finally get this work. The problem was due to some account name conflict. Here are the steps I followed to set it right
1) Un-installed the SQLserver
3) Re-installed it back with following changes
- In the server configuration section, I changed the account name
details to "NT AUTHORITY/LOCALSERVICE" (during the installation process)
Please remember to set it as "NT AUTHORITY/NETWORKSERVICE" if LOCAL SERVICE is not allowed.
Getting Error Installing SQL Server 2019 in Windows 11
According to the documentation (linked later) Windows 11 does now support SQL Server 2019. The revision of the documentation for this occured on 13 December. Leaving original answer below.
The following does not reflect the latest documentation, which was changed after this answer was posted.
SQL Server 2019 is not supported on Windows 11 at this time. This is documented, in SQL Server 2019: Hardware and software requirements - Operating system support by the omission of Windows 11. As a result any successful attempts to get it running on such an OS would likely be unsupported.
The "solution" is the use an operating system that is supported (see link above). You can either downgrade your install of Windows back to 10 or install afresh. Otherwise you could use a VM with a supported operating system or use a [Linux] container such as Docker (Windows Sub System for Linux (WSL) is not supported).
Hopefully support will be added, but it may well not be, and you'll have to wait for SQL Server 2022 some time next year.
