Solution:

There can be various reasons you might be getting this issue, like a failure of a previous installation of SQL server may corrupt the registry, and this registry corruption may initiate this issue.

There seems to be no direct fix to this, so try:

– Uninstalling all the patches, and re-install them in sequence.

– Or, uninstall the whole SQL Server completely and install fresh again.
