a required file could not be downloaded sql server 2019 express
Hello Everyone ,I'm trying to install SQL server 2019 Express ,but when it's downloaded and i go to Run it , the following error comes Up "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"
i tried downloading it several times same error happened , tried deactivating Windows security also didn't work , also switched system cryptography :use FIPS compliant algorithms to enabled and that didn't work either .please help
Found a fix that worked for me
regedit add a Dword Value to the following 2 locations
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v4.0.30319
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v4.0.30319
Dword key: SchUseStrongCrypto

- For those who want the steps on how to add the Dword value . you can watch the video here for the steps in details .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg3hs2czDZ0&ab_channel=Ally-Helena
Abdellatif1995 Thank you for sharing the video I have changed the Dword value . However, I'm still getting the same error .
There must be a missing step or something , maybe try downloading the latest version of the SQL server and try again, if it doesn't work ,we can set a call on Teams or something and go through the steps one more time. Priyanvs324
