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.

I'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

Danthma 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 enterSet-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v4.0.30319' -Name 'SchUseStrongCrypto' -Value '1' -Type Dword 2- Copy this and klik on enterSet-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v4.0.30319' -Name 'SchUseStrongCrypto' -Value '1' -Type Dword And now you can download 'SQLServer2019'

I corrected the error by enabling TLS 1.0.

Same here, but only on one of my two devices on the same network. Cannot find any differences. Windows 10 both..

Any fixes?
