Oops, my mistake. I'll let this serve the list with what I've tried so
far. Thanks, Adrian for the reminder.
I hope tomorrow to visit the customer and try the Admin user method of
installing.

attempting to start the the database server. There's a long
pause, followed by an error message: "Failed to load SQL modules

have no clue where to look for the issue.
You are running as Admin user?
I can't say that I was. Will check this next time (maybe tomorrow)
when I am customer's site. I didn't even think about right-clicking
on the installer and selecting run-as-admin. I know I did not
deliberately use Admin user on the test PC mentioned below, and it
installed with no problems.
As a double-check on a different PC with Windows 10 Pro, I get no
error message, and the database is installed correctly.
