Zenon editor 8.2 install fails, due to SQL Server Rules Check code (-1)


Brand new to Zenon software. The Zenon 8.20 software refuses to install. Its hanging on SQL Server install rules check.

I’ve tried Win7 (before I found out Win7 can't run the editor!), and also a brand new Win10 Enterprise vm box with no other softwares installed. I get same error with each. I googled the error and can’t find any info, nor could I initially find the log file from SQL Server install. I clicked the link and I get nothing, see image attached. So I went searching for a log file and found one. I found where its doing the Rules check and fails, but it still doesn’t tell me what the error actually means. Here is an excerpt from the logfile.

I tried mounting the ISO file, and I’ve tried copying the ISO file contents to a folder on my c:\ drive, same result in both cases. I don’t have SQL Server installed already, see screenshot. I am running the setup file as Admin. I’ve tried to manually install SQL Server from the \AdditionalSoftware\Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Express Edition folder (as admin also), running the batch file as Admin and it still fails, saying my PC cannot run this software?

I cannot do anything with the software right now, which is really frustrating. I need some assistance please. I’ve checked out the forum, and found nothing helpful. Do I need to download SQL Server Express 2017 and install separately? Or actually burn the ISO file to a DVD? I tried disabling Windows Defender firewall and no effect. No antivirus installed currently either.


Here is the fresh vm that I’m using, version details:
Edition Windows 10 Enterprise
Version 20H2
Installed on ‎11/‎22/‎2020
OS build 19042.630
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.31.0
