SQL Server installer unable to download the required files
Dear Community,
I wanted to install the developer edition, however, I keep getting this error message:
"We failed to download the files we require. Please check your network connection and try again."
My network connection is working fine; however, my local disk is almost full. If that's the reason the installer is failing, is it possible to force it to download to another disk?
Thanks.

- Is there a current fix for this? Still unable to download SQL Express or Developer server. Unfortunately, I don't really understand any of the workarounds listed in the comments
Hello,
I will tell you step by step.
Go to your 'Search tab' on your Windows. Open as 'administrator' 'Windows PowerShell'. You will see a blue screen whit PS C:\Windows\system32> writing in it.
1- Copy this and klik on enter
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v4.0.30319' -Name 'SchUseStrongCrypto' -Value '1' -Type Dword
2- Copy this and klik on enter
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v4.0.30319' -Name 'SchUseStrongCrypto' -Value '1' -Type Dword
And now you can download 'SQLServer2019'
I was installing SQL Server from the command line and my Configuration.ini file was incorrect.
You can check installation logs in the following path, might highlight what the issue is.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<VERSION>\SSEI\LogFilesI've had a similar problem with SQL Express 2019 and this helped on WS 2019
# set strong cryptography on 64 bit .Net Framework (version 4 and above) Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v4.0.30319' -Name 'SchUseStrongCrypto' -Value '1' -Type Dword # set strong cryptography on 32 bit .Net Framework (version 4 and above) Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v4.0.30319' -Name 'SchUseStrongCrypto' -Value '1' -Type Dword- TY!
- Brilliant! Worked for Express edition too!
JBee That did it for me. Thanks!
Succeeded by opening Telerik Fiddler and then started the SQL Server installation.
I found I was getting the below error in event viewer (Along with the error OP is seeing) at each attempt to install SQL server Dev edition or express.
Addition Error: "A fatal error occurred while creating a TLS client credential. The internal error state is 10013."
Here are the steps (from at this https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/aaced205-b0ec-4874-b440-8075dd74d8df/a-fatal-error-occurred-while-creating-an-ssl-client-credential-the-internal-error-state-is-10013?forum=exchangesvradmin) I used:
1. In Control Panel, click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Local Security Policy.
2. In Local Security Settings, expand Local Policies, and then click Security Options.
3.Under Policy in the right pane, double-click System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing, and then click Enabled.
4. Ran gpupdate /force
Thank you,
Aaron.I corrected the error by enabling TLS 1.0.
Michael Yusko Still happening in 2020, even with TLS 1.2
