SQL Server Update to Install on Windows for Arm

SQL Server 2022 is not going to support ARM64, based on what I asked from Microsoft SQL Server 2022 guys.
Thanks, this is not good news unfortunately. As a VS2019 .net 4.7 + Sql Server 2019 developer, I was really looking forward to upgrading my current iMac 27" 2016, but it looks like a long way to go atm.
 
Hello, I am trying to setup SQL Server 2019 Setup on
OS - Windows11_InsiderPreview_Client_ARM64_en-us_22579
From the links mentioned in the threads, I have tried downloading every Cumulative Update Package (10, 12, 14, 15) for SQL Server 2019, but none of them work.

Hi there. Update here as this installation almost drove me mad. Step by step that I followed and worked (as for today 15-sep-2021):
Device - MacBook Air M1 (2020)
Virtual Software - Parallels Desktop 17 Standard Edition For Home & Student Use
OS - Windows10_InsiderPreview_Client_ARM64_en-us_21354
SQL - SQL2019-SSEI-Expr
After trying to install SQL2019-SSEI-Expr, you will see an error message (exit code decimal 2068052294). Don't worry.
Download this patch >> https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=100809
Run it (SQLServer2019-KB5004524-x64)
Once the previous step is done. Run again SQL2019-SSEI-Expr
Gave me installation success to me. I then installed SSMS-Setup-ENU
Hope it helps.
Hello MarcosW, Please refer to the knowledge base https://kb.parallels.com/9058 article to generate a technical report Id. Thanks.
 
The non-existent support from Parallels. I expect active help until the problem is solved. This is what I pay for. But nothing happens. I have cancelled my subscription and all other customers should do the same. Parallels Desktop has become useless to me on the M1.
 
I'm also in this situation but I realise that this is no fault of Parallels! You should turn your anger towards Microsoft for not supporting this newer version of SQL-server on Windows for ARM. Unfortunately it's futile to complain to MS and the only thing we can do is wait. I myself are looking for an Intel Mac to solve the problem temporarily.
 
I think I would be ok with Sql Server LocalDB working correctly for development. I seem to be able to connect to localdb from within SSMS and also Visual Studio server explorer, but EF Core Migrations can't seem to find the server when running update-database. Anyone else encounter this?
 
After facing the 4096 byte sector size bug in windows 11 I figured out how to create a VHD disk that solved that particular issue. SQL Server 2019 unfortunately would go all the way through and fail on the last step though. Eventually gave up and installed 32 bit version of SQL Server 2014. That'll have to do for now until an actual fix can be found.

If only I could find that Windows 10 Insider preview, seems Microsoft removed it from their servers unfortunately.
I have an M1 Mac with windows 11 installed. I tried following the instructions but the install fails:

TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
------------------------------

SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:

Setup encountered a failure while running job UpdateResult.

Error code 0x876E0003.

Any pointers on how to get it installed? Is it even possible?
 
For those still struggling to install MS SQL 2019 on Windows 11 I've found a way with a combinationa of things posted on this forum.
Steps:

1. Obtain Windows 10 build 21354 following instructions on this link (thanks MarcosH2) https://www.reddit.com/r/windowsins...dows_10_arm_insider_preview_vhdx_file_solved/
This step is very important as no other builds worked for me.

2. Install Windows 10. Important - select to configure VM before installing and remove 'TPM Chip' from Hardware as it's not compatible with Windows 10.

3. Follow instructions on installing and updating SQL 2019 from the very first post on this thread (thanks Mundford) - I first installed SQL 2019 developers edition (free) which failed as usual, then updated with both links provided, then installed SQL 2019 again and it worked!

4. Update to Windows 11. Windows updates didn't work for me, so I first updated to latest Windows 10 build available (21390) using ISO image.
Important - you have to add TPM Chip back or Windows 11 won't install. Again I couldn't update to Windows 11 from updates, so I got Windows 11 build 22000 ISO and updated without problems.

5. After upgrading to Windows 11 updates are working fine again so updating to very latest build right now. SQL Management Studio still works no issues.

Hopefully this will help someone as well.
 
OK, some bad news. While I was able to install SQL 2019 as per above, SQL Server Network Configuration node is missing from Configuration Manager so can't connect from my apps.

Couldn't find any solutions on internet either :(
 
Has anyone already tried Parallels 18 and SQL-Server 2019 on M1??
They mention SQL-Server under "lightning fast"

If you follow reddit link you will see that someone already uploaded so you can use that. Either way SQL Server doesn't work so not sure if worth the effort?
