SQL, Data Science and Life

Tried to install SQL Server on a new laptop and ran into this issue of unable to install VS shell. Followed this link to uninstall C++ runtime 2017 first and then SQL Server installation succeeded. https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/190090/help-installing-sql-server-2017-vs-shell-installation-has-failed-with-exit-cod Remember to reinstall the C++ run time 2017 afterwards, so that VS2017 still works.
