Installation problem with SQL Server 2017 (Error 1639)

Question

I've been struggling to install sql server 2017 for a few days now. I keep getting message:

Oops... Unable to install SQL Server(setup.exe). Exit code(Decimal)-2068052377 Error description:Invalid command line argument.Consult the Windows Installer SDK for detailed command line help.

I've tried to delete all sql folders, registry keys, uninstall everything related to SQL Server, installing as admin, cleaning and fixing the registry, rebooting,... Still cant install. Please help. Thanks in advance! I attached image and logs

You could try use revoUnistaller to uninstall all SQL system, reboot your system and use some clean up app like ccleaner and try reinstall.
