To understand which cause may apply to the problem being experienced, reviewing the Backup Exec installation log for the returned SQL Express installation error code and SQL Summary.txt log.
Cause 1:
Error: 16389.
The installation path for the Backup Exec installation is longer that 65 characters.
The install path should be 65 characters or less.
Cause 2:
Error: -2067922935 (0x986DD6CB)
The installation path for the Backup Exec installation is longer that 84 characters.

Cause 4:
Error: -2061893606 (0x851A001A)
The upgrade from SQL Server 2005 Express instance to SQL 2008 R2 and then to SQL 2012 or SQL 2014 fails at the last steps when executing the SQL Express installation upgrade scripts.
Cause 5:
Error: -2068051813 (0x84BC089B)
The system variable "TMP" or "TEMP" has the invalid path.
Backup Exec 16 (FP1) Feature Pack 1 has introduced a new install path check during the installation or upgrade.
Previous Backup Exec versions used older versions of SQL Express,
newer versions of the SQL Express installer have path depth limitations. Due to Backup Exec's use of newer SQL Express versions, Backup Exec 16 FP1 and greater installations will fail if the install path is too deep.
For Backup Exec 16 FP1 and greater the install path must be less than 50 characters in length to prevent any potentioal Microsoft SQL Express installation path related errors.
Backup Exec 16 FP1 Install Log Message
Install Media Path: C:\Install Media ISOs\Application Software\Backup Exec\Bacup Exec 16\FP2\BE1142.1632RSP2\Install
The root of the Backup Exec installation media path cannot exceed 50 characters in length. You must shorten the path name, and then run the installation again. If this error persists, move the installation media to the root of a local drive and then run the install again.
