  5. Rectify .NET Framework issues: If the .NET Framework is causing the error 0x80070057, navigate to the Control Panel, select Programs and Features, find Microsoft .NET Framework, and choose the repair option.
  6. Examine installation logs: For further insights into the error, consult the installation logs found in the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Serverh\Setup Bootstrap\Log directory for any errors or warnings.
