Hi I am trying to install Sitecore 9 using SIF and a PowerShell script provided with the ELearning Sitecore 9 developer foundations. I've had quite a few issue during this including getting Solr 6.6.2 setup. I seem to have over come these problems, however one that has stumped me over the last few day is this exception:
Install-SitecoreConfiguration : Failed to start service 'Sitecore XConnect Search Indexer - local.xconnect-IndexWorker (local.xconnect-IndexWorker)'. At C:\sitecore\install\install.ps1:43 char:1 + Install-SitecoreConfiguration @xconnectParams + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Install-SitecoreConfiguration

So far I found some threads on here explaining how they fixed it and giving the error messages from the logs. I have tried a few things although they would appear to have this issue for different reason. For example a common cause of this seems to be that their license has expired or does not include xConnect. I don't believe this is my issue because I am using a license from a another Sitecore 9 project that uses xConnect that works.
Also the error message in my xConnect logs seems to be different to when this is the case:

I did find a blog post mentioning the error here https://tothecore.sk/2018/08/09/sitecore-xconnect-search-indexer-windows-service-throwing-exception-the-authority-host-could-not-be-parsed/
But I'm not sure really what his fix is. When I try to run the script with the URL he suggests it then can't establish a connection with SOLR.
I also can't start the server manually through the server manager. I get the same error in the Window event logs.
Below is the script I'm running from the sitecore 9 set up guide.

Just wondering if anyone out there might have any insight into why this could be happening.
