Cause
During the Database Files Destination step, the destination folder selected was at the root of a drive (for example, C:\ as shown below). This is a SQL restriction as SQL data and log files cannot be placed in the root of a drive, because of the way permissions work with regards to the root of the drive compared to its subfolders.

Resolution
Specify at least one subfolder as the location for the database files.
