SQL Server 2019 on a Windows 11 Pro machine

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://docs.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

    Same issue occurring for myself, on a fresh Win 11 install, also tried to install express edition with same failure, even setup a Win 10 Pro VM to install and it failed with the same error.

    I am surprised this issue is now 2+ weeks old.
