I have been trying to install SQL Server 2022 Developer for quite some time now and seem to always get an error that is causing the installation to abort. Below, I have provided the details of the error:
Detailed results:

I have been looking into this error tirelessly for quite some time and have already attempted at implementing a number of suggested solutions such as,
- installing SQL server to a root folder that does not have any spaces
- clearing out all files related to the sql server, clearing everything related to sql server with regedit, uninstalling everything related to sql server and attempting to re-install
- switching "ForcedPhysicalSectorSizeInBytes" to 4096 as is suggested by microsoft when using Windows 11
- trying to install via basic installation as well as custom installation
.... to name a few.
It might also be worth mentioning that I have Oracle SQLDeveloper installed on my machine as i needed it for previous semesters however my classmates also have SQLDeveloper installed on their machines and they did not encounter this issue when installing SQL Server. I also have SSMS as well as Visual Studio installed on my machine (not sure if this is useful info but i figured i'd put it out there)
Let me know if i can provide any other information to help with finding a solution. Thanks
