I have installed the software no errors
however the serve fails to start --
I found thread suggesting remedy was three step process --
1.) Set to local in services.msc
2.) Start
3.) rename back to NT Service\MSSQL$<instance name> in sql configurator
step 1 & 2 worked
but I cannot get 3 to work --- with or without password
