    Hi, I install the latest CU every month. A more convenient way is to use a new instance name for SQL in addition to the BC instance name during installation, and then uninstall the old one.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    The error in your screenshot indicates a SQL Server connection issue during Business Central installation

     

    Quick Fixes:


    1. Run the installer as Administrator
      Right-click the setup file → Run as administrator. This bypasses UAC-related permission issues.


    2. Use a SQL user with sysadmin permissions
      If you're using Windows authentication, make sure your Windows user is explicitly added as sysadmin in SQL Server — not just through a group.


    3. Turn off UAC temporarily
      Open Control Panel → User Accounts → Change User Account Control settings → Slide to "Never notify" → Reboot and retry install.


    4. Ensure SQL Server is running and accessible
      Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and confirm you can manually connect to the master database.



    5.  
     
     

    Let me know if you’re installing BC 2025 Wave 1 with default components or using an existing SQL instance — I can guide accordingly.

    Hi,
     this is generally indicates a timeout during instance startup, often related to SQL Server access, license loading, or wrong config.
     
    Below a check list to verify and look for the root cause
    • Verify Database Server and Instance Access
    • Double-check SQL Connection in config
    • Check if you published a valid license
    • Review Windows Event Viewer → Application Log
    • Clear cache and temp files
    • Re-register server instance
