Setup Support Rules
[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
The System Configuration Check page of the SQL Server Installation Wizard shows progress of the system validation tool. System Configuration Check routines scan the computer where SQL Server will be installed for conditions that might block Setup.
The Next button is available only if all check results are successful, or if failed checks do not block installation.
Use the Show details button to display a summary of rules and scan results. The Status column at the right-hand side of the scan results shows the status of each item. Click the status for an item to view details.
The following table describes check parameters for the SCC, requirements, and resolution to blocking issues.
