Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble installing Solidworks onto my laptop. The problem started when the software told me that it was unable to install the SQL server because my laptop had a similarly named file.

From there, I decided to uninstall the latest Microsoft SQL server on my laptop (2018), thinking that was the similarly named file it was talking about. I then resumed installing the rest of the Solidworks programs, only for another error message to pop up, telling me it couldn't find an SQL server.

Will someone please help me out? I don't know what to do from here.
