I see this in the detailed log:
File 'C:\SQL2022\Developer_ENU\x64\setup\x64\sql_engine_core_inst.msi' does not exist
I would suggest that you select the Download ISO option and that you then run the install directly from the ISO file.
can show the steps the to follow this process
When you click on the insallation file, you should see this:
Select Download Media.
This will download an ISO-file. Once that file is downloaded, double-click it. That will open the ISO and mount it as a disk drive. Double-click Setup.exe and off you go.
i tried to install using iso file got the following error

Please check follow by this article which lists the minimum hardware and software requirements to install and run SQL Server 2022 (16.x) on the Windows operating system.
Please go to SQL Server Setup program (setup.exe) from SQL Server installation media-> Maintenance in the left-hand navigation area-> Repair.
If this doesn't work, you can uninstall it cleanly and reinstall it.
Please follow the below steps to remove all components of previous installed SQL Server completely:
Backup the registry
--HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
--HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and delete all the keys referencing SQL Server
Reboot the machine
In addition, please use an administrator account to reinstall SQL Server on your computer(Right click->run as administrator).
You'd better disable your anti-virus software and firewall before installation. Also, it is recommended that you install in the default location.

i tried the above steps still getting error , deleted the keys in regit, then reinstall
This time another file is missing:
File 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\160\Shared\sqlmgmprovider.mof' not found!
I've seen people having this error before, but I've never been able to understand it. The question is: was it never created, or did some other process delete it. One way to find out is to have Process Monitor running while Setup is running and then filter the output. Certainly advanced troubleshooting, but it is the best I can offer for the moment.
What anti-virus are you running?
