You need to specify the file path of Setup.exe. Here are two scenarios： Your installation package is ISO, you can not find the setup.exe in 'SQL Server 2019 installation center'. You have to go to the installation package (iso) and run setup.exe to install new instance.
The default installation path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\.
Launch the SQL Server Setup program (setup.exe) from SQL Server installation media. After prerequisites and system verification, the Setup program will display the SQL Server Installation Center page. Click Maintenance in the left-hand navigation area, and then click Repair to start the repair operation.
Uninstall the existing SQL Server and all the components from the add remove program. Backup the registry. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and delete all the sub-keys referencing SQL Server.
Open SQL SERVER Installation Centre, go to:
Option -> Select installation media root directory -> browse to the folder which has .msi file of SQL (Should be something like C:\SQLServer2016Media\ExpressAdv_ENU\)
