SQL Server Reporting Service 2014 – Installation Fail

Following up on my comment, you have to select ENU\x64\SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe for installation.

Download link.

Then run the installation package and follow instruction until you get feature selection page.

Follow rest of the steps and complete the installation.

Now Verify the RS installation :

Note: You must be logged in as a member of the local administrators group on the computer where SQL Server 2012 Express is installed.

1. Navigate to Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2012 -> Configuration Tools -> Reporting Services Configuration Manager.

2. In the RS Configuration Connection dialog, make sure that your local report server instance (for example SQLExpess) is selected and click Connect.

   

3. In the RS Configuration Manager left pane, select Web Service URL.

   

4. Make sure that the Virtual Directory parameter is set to ‘ReportServer_’ (‘ReportServer_SQLEXPRESS’ for the SQLEXPRESS instance), and that the TCP Port is set to 80. Click Apply.

5. In the Reporting Services Configuration Manager left pane, select Database.

6. On this page, ensure that the SQL Server Name and Database Name fields contain correct values. If not, click the Change Database button and complete the Report Server Database Configuration wizard.

7. In the Reporting Services Configuration Manager left pane, select Report Manager URL.

8. On this page, ensure that the Virtual Directory parameter is set correctly, and that the URL is valid.

9. Click Exit to close the RS Configuration Manager.

A simple and complete solution to error ' Could not find database engine startup handle' in below link Reason for the error can be

1.The account which user selected on Server Configuration page window ( during installation) is somehow not able to bring SQL Server database engine services online. Either is lacks privilege or it is corrupted. During installation of database engine services SQL Server tries to bring online database services as a internal process but due to startup account either corrupt or not having appropriate privileges it fails to do so and ultimately installation fails.

2.Other reason is when installation fails first time due to some reason and user uninstall failed installation from add remove program, the un-installation leaves account in broken state so any further attempt to install flashes this error message

Solution can be.

Uninstall SQL server completely from Add remove program

Launch setup by right click on it and select run as administrator. After launching the setup and providing necessary details you would reach to Server Configuration page . When you reach this page please select startup account for Database Engine services as NT Authority\SYSTEM which is also called as Local System account.
