SQL Server Express cannot be installed on a domain controller.  You must use a different PC/Server to install SQL Server on.  See http://www.opssys.com/instantkb/article.aspx?id=12987 to determine if the server is a domain controller.  See Microsoft KB https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2032911:

You may encounter problems when installing SQL Server on a domain controller

Summary
It is not recommended to install SQL Server on a domain controller. There are specific security restrictions when running SQL Server in this configuration and given the resource demands of a domain controller, SQL Server performance may be degraded. Furthermore, SQL Server is not supported on a read-only domain controller. Setup will normally fail. Even if you find methods to work around the problem with setup, SQL Server is not supported on a read-only domain controller. In addition, SQL Server failover clustering is not supported to install on a domain controller.
