I have hit a brick wall here... I am trying to install ssrs in one of my other VM. After installing sql server express and ssms(which installs successfully), I have tried to install ssrs(making another instance "MSSQLSERVER")... I always get this error...
could not find the database engine startup handle sql 2008 r2
Here is my log file
