The solution: You will need to browse to this installation path: C:\SQLServer2017Media\<YOUR_SQL_ENU>\1033_ENU_LP\x64\Setup

Then while the setup is stuck at “Install_SQLSupport_CPU64_Action” run SQLSUPPORT.msi

And follow the installation procedure.

Once installed, run the following command in cmd:

taskkill /F /FI "SERVICES eq msiserver"

The SQL Server setup will continue and succeed.

Edit: according to @snomsnomsnom, it seems that SQL Server 2019 unpacks to C:\SQL2019...

Solution 2:[2]

I had this issue when installing sql server 2016, the taskkill solution not work for me. Therefore, I tried do uninstallation for SQL Server 2012 Native Client, and install the one in the setup\x64\sqlncli.msi and reinstall the sql server again, and no more issue anymore.
