Hello everyone
Please help me. I am stuck here for 2 days. I am trying to install sqlserver 2022 on windows 11 using UTM on mac m1. I am getting this error.
See that path in that error message? In that folder you find log files from the installation attempt. The most interesting ones are summary.txt and details.txt.
Although, i have a nagging feeling that M1 is not a supported platform for SQL Server.
Windows 11 using UTM on mac m1
ARM processors like here M1 are not supported for a SQL Server installation.
when I click it on summary file it says package failed updates, dependancy or conflict validation
And I am using virtual machine for windows on macm1
It may not help that it is a VM...
In any case, without seeing the log files, we cannot add much more.

Hi Malik Allahyar,
Please refer to this document: SQL Server 2022: Hardware and software requirements
The M1 is an ARM processor. Maybe you can install a SQL Server in a virtual machine.
Best regards,
Seeya

Actually, using UTM will work... but you have to select the x86-64 architecture and install the real version of Windows 11 (not the ARM version).
After that, you can install SQL Server and the SQL Server Management Studio with no problem at all.

Hey Emmet Gray even I'm using Mac and I have installed UTM with ARM. I downloaded Microsoft SQL Server but during installation it's giving me an error. How to install real version Windows 11. Could you please let me know

Short story: you can do it, but it is not to recommend.
