I'm trying to install SQL Server 2012 Express on a computer with Windows Server 2012 Foundation, I must recall that this is an Active Directory domain controller but I cannot install the server on another computer.
I have the following error:
Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed. Check the SQL Server error log for potential causes.
This is my error log:

Any clue on what can be happening?

The instance is configured to enforce SSL and SSL is not configured properly. Follow the steps at How to enable SSL encryption for an instance of SQL Server by using Microsoft Management Console. You probably want to start by removing the
Force Protocol Encryptionoption first (which currently exists for this instance in the registry, probably under theHKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLibtheForceEncryptionvalue is 1 instead of 0), confirm the engine starts, then continue from there by either configuring it properly, or removing it if not required.
