What are the errors on the bottom of the setup page as it is telling you to check?

Sounds like installer itself told all the issues and you just need to solve it reading.

The error message is not very helpful to us - but it tells you exactly what to do:

"Review errors at the bottom of the setup page, then provide valid parameters or click Help for more information."

So do it!

Installing SQL server can be a PITA - I have to work out what everything means when I do it (probably because I don't do it often, thankfully). Remove you installation, and any other versions, then try again. Have a look at this before you start - it guides you through the process:
