When I was installing SQL Server Management Studio 2014 a few days ago, I was shown a pop-up at the end of the installation: "wait on the database engine recovery handle failed", and followed by some of the SQL Server MS features failed to be installed.
To be exact, here are the screenshot of the error notifications (not on my computer, credits to
the blog who provided me with the solution)

| "wait on the database engine recovery handle failed" |

| Features failed to be installed |
To solve this, the TL;DR version is to just uninstall it and install it again but when you are shown the Server Configuration page, change the Account Name of SQL Server Database Engine service to "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE". After that just click next and everything should be installed correctly.
For me, the above paragraph was sufficient to fix my installation. However, if somehow it does not solve your issue (something about validation error pops up, or anything else), go to
the blog where I found this solution and try to follow the complete steps provided.
Hopefully it helps!
