Hello,
I have currently downloaded SQL Server developer edition from Microsoft website, But after downloading the packages and next during the installation process it was showing an error. The error code is 2068052377 and the description is Invalid Command Line argument. Consult the Windows Installer SDK for detailed Command Line help.
Please review the installation log file for more details: View and Read SQL Server Setup Log Files
I have read the log files folder but in summary.txt it was showing same error what i have saw during installation and i could not figure it out.
The next file to look at is detail.txt. Which is very verbose, and by no means easy to digest. But sometimes the answer is there.

Hi AkhilaPinninti-5384,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.
Could you please share us the summary.txt and detail.txt?
This problem may be due to a previous failed installation.
