The problem was encountered when installing SQL SERVER2008R2 in the previous days:
The following error occurred:
SQL Server Setup encountered an error while running the Windows Installer file.
Windows Installer error message: Error opening the installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and that it can be written to.
Windows Installer Files: D:\qqdownload\cn_sql_server_2014_express_with_advanced_services_x64_exe_3949524\redist\ Watson\dw20shared.msiwindows Installer log file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\setup Bootstrap\log\20160515_ 092407\watsonx86_cpu32_1.log
Click Retry to retry the failed operation, and click Cancel to cancel the operation and continue with the installation.
Because I previously modified the registry, the default software installation location to the D disk, so the above error, the default location is changed, SQL 2008R2 can be installed properly.
