SQL Server 2017 Installation Fails on Windows 10

I am attempting to install SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition on Windows 10 but I am getting an error "Exception has been throw by the target of the invocation." That is less than helpful.

If I run the System Configuration Checker, the setup administrator rule fails. I am at a loss to explain the failure since this I have one account on my computer and I am in the Administrator group. This computer is not part of a Windows domain. I tried running setup as an administrator by right-clicking run as administrator and got the same results.

Unsure if this is causing the setup failure but I figured it is where I should start. It is not even starting the setup so I don't think a log file is created that I can look at. I tried running the setup as administrator and I get the same results. Ideas on how I can troubleshoot this?

UPDATE

Found out the setup log file is located in the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Setup Bootstrap\Log. So I checked the error log and the error message was

Unable to load DLL 'sqlmu.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

Sure enough that file was missing. So I re-downloaded the ISO and extracted it and now setup runs fine. Must have been a corrupted download. Hope that helps somebody.

Have a look at the SQL Server installation fails if the Setup account doesn't have certain user rights article, and following the steps included. Does that work?
