    Unfortunately that's one of those that can end up being a few different things.
    Did you run setup as an administrator? Did you have any other versions of SQL Server installed?
    Check the log file from the installation attempt. By default that would be in the path Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\Setup Bootstrap\Log
    Check the most recent folder in there and check for the Detail_LandingPage.txt file. Poke around in some of the others but that's the file that often lists issues related to the error.

  • What OS are you installing on?

    Thanks for your response.

    This is a fresh installation on Windows Server 2016 standard edition. Unfortunately, could not find anything related to this error in the logs.

    Is  Visual Studio a pre-requsite for SQL server installation? Thanks

    No Visual Studio is not required. You can find the prerequisites listed in this article:
    Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server

    You should be able to find more information in the logs in the Setup Bootstrap directory I mentioned in my first post.
