Unable to install SQL Server(setup.exe) Exit code decimal: -2061893606

Question

This is what happens when the installation is completed.

I've tried deleting every residual file from previous installations and I've even restarted my laptop and tried installing the express version as well, but I got the same results.

For those who can't open the image. "Error description: Wait on Database Engine recovery handle failed.Check the Sql Server error log for potential causes."
