SQL Server 2019 Developer's Edition for Windows 11 Pro

Question

Hi

I just got a new computer and I would like to install SQL Server 2019 Developer's edition. I am running Windows 11 Pro.

I am getting the copy of the program here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads

I get an error:

"Oops...
A required file could not be downloaded. This could mean the version of the installer is no longer supported. Please download again from the download site. https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=866662"

Windows 11 Pro is supported:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/install/hardware-and-software-requirements-for-installing-sql-server-2019?view=sql-server-ver15

How can I download the program?

Thank you

It has something to do with TLS and new Windows Updates, here is a solution from another forum.

Open PowerShell as administrator and run

Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft.NetFramework\v4.0.30319' -Name 'SchUseStrongCrypto' -Value '1' -Type Dword
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NetFramework\v4.0.30319' -Name 'SchUseStrongCrypto' -Value '1' -Type Dword
