Hi,<br />
I never had this problem before, but I'll try to help, check the SQL server logs for the exact error.<br />
Also while installing, try to use a higher permissible account.<br />
<br />
You're saying you get that error, does the installation continues? or stops?<br />
if it stops what instance you need to remove , it's already didn't got installed?!<br />
<br />
anyway to remove an instance, you just read this article <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143412.aspx" rel="ugc nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143412.aspx</a>&nbsp;. and try with a different ISO since you suspects it could be the problem.

When trying to create a 2nd instance on a Sql Server 2008R2 I receive &quot;Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed during setup&quot;.<br />
<br />
For reference I will call the server: &nbsp;dbserver/Prod<br />
<br />
I read many articles on stopping/starting services using different accounts and that has not worked. &nbsp;Also there is a potential of a bad ISO which is causing this issue. &nbsp;So I would like to be able to fix the error above or remove the newly created instance. &nbsp;I want to keep the original installation because there are no issues. &nbsp;How can I just remove the newly created instance if I am unable to fix the issue above?<br />
<br />
Thank you for your help,<br />
