[!INCLUDE SQL Server -Windows Only]
During [!INCLUDE ssNoVersion] Setup, the System Configuration Checker (SCC) scans the computer where [!INCLUDE ssNoVersion] will be installed.
The SCC checks for conditions that prevent a successful [!INCLUDE ssNoVersion] installation. Before Setup starts the [!INCLUDE ssNoVersion] Installation Wizard, the SCC retrieves the status of each item. It then compares the result with required conditions and provides guidance for removal of blocking issues.
The system configuration checker generates a report which contains a short description for each executed rule, and the execution status. The system configuration check report is located at %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Setup Bootstrap\Log\<yyyyMMdd_HHmm>.
