In that folder in the screenshot there are a number of log files. The ones of most interest are summary.txt and detail.txt. Feel free to attach them here.

Hi @MERT CAN ÖZBAY,

Thank you for your reaching out and welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

The Error Description: The system cannot find the path specified means that they cannot locate the files of SQL Server basic component.

You mentioned you want to reinstall it; It is possible that some files are corrupted or the access for these files is denied during you uninstall the SQL Server.

Please follow the steps in this article and download SQL Server again. Run the installation media as administrator. When you reinstall the SQL Server on server configuration page, please remember to change the SQL Server Database Engine account and SQL Server Agent account to local System (NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM) to ensure these accounts have enough permission.

In addition, if you are using win11, there is a known issue: Troubleshooting operating system disk sector size greater than 4 KB - SQL Server | Microsoft Learn.

By the way, are you trying to install the SQL Server on Mac? I met an issue like yours before, if you are trying to install the SQL Server on Mac, please refer to this thread!

NOTE: We cannot rely on the old thread, the cause of the issue is different. If these all still not work, please check your SQL server setup log. Could you please post the detailed logs here to better help us narrow down the issue? We will locate the issue accurately and offer your more help!

Feel free to share your issue with us if you have any concerns!
