Unable to Install SQL Server

Hey ya'll, I've hit a snag trying to install SQL Server. I've attached the following error. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling numerous times, and have followed a variety of guides suggesting which files to delete and which registry files to delete as well. It assisted in being able to remove SQL Server from my computer, as I could not even uninstall it before, but now I cannot install the service on my machine.

In the summary report, the error code is "0x851A0019" with a message of "Could not find the Database Engine startup handle.".

Poking around online has not provided any help whatsoever to figuring out the solution, and am hoping someone here might be able to help get SQL Server installed on my machine. Thanks in advance.
