Hi,

This response based on what I found online. I have no experience using MAC.

the short answer, is that according to all responses in other similar questions about using SQLK Server on MAC, this is not supported

With that said, the following recording explains what and how can be done:

They are using parallels... this is a Windows VM, and MANY people are having this issue on win 11 with sql2022... seeems to be no answers..

Simply a bug in installer that MS can't be bothered fixing.

We would need to see detail.txt to understand which file that might be missing.

However:

I'm using Mac OS 13.2.1 and Parallel Desktop with Windows 11 Pro to install SQL server.

I am not sure that this is a supported platform. You have an ARM processor, right? (I know nothing about Macs).

The installer does not detect msodbc installed and will not use a valid msi installer either.

It's a bug in the installer on win11 with sql 2022 installer.

Hi @Danh Tran Cong ,

Firstly, please refer to this MS document: SQL Server 2022: Hardware and software requirements

M1 is not currently supported in SQL Server.
