Its does mean what it says : the user does not exist or SQL server cannot find the user. Is this account an existing local or domain account? Can u login to any computer with this account? If NO, you need to create the account first as local of domain account depending on what MASB is (computer or domain).
As a workaround you can simply install using an inbuilt account such as MSSQLSERVER and change later assuming you are not installing a cluster.

It is also possible that you have administrative access to the machine where you are installing SQL Server but you do not have permissions for reading the Active Directory or the machine cannot access to the domain due some network issues.
Could you check the computer event log and verify that the account that you are using to install the SQL Server has proper Active Directory access?
