    I'm going to assume that you've already installed SSMS?

    Uninstall SSMS and all "driver for SQL Server" components from your system, then install SQL Server 2022 before you attempt to install SSMS.

    There's a dependency check that fails if you install SSMS first.

    Possible causes:

    • Run the setup.exe as administrator in case you haven't done this.
    • Corrupted Installation file so redownload and/or do a checksum.

    Check this log to see if you can find more information, which is mentioned in the summary.txt file?
