SQL Server Update to Install on Windows for Arm

Having had success with most things I've needed on Windows for Arm (currently on Build 21376) except for SQL Server Express, which has constantly failed, I finally had success today by finding this:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...ower-cpu-f2ab38f7-1def-c6a3-790e-bfff86f89820
and subsequently downloading the Cumulative Update Package 10 for SQL Server 2019 - KB5001090 from here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=100809

I hope this helps someone.

 

Hi Mundford,
Both of the links you have given are cumulative updates (which I think must be installed after installing SQL Server). But I cannot install SQL Server Express on my Windows 10 ARM VM. After going deep into the installation process and nearly at the end of it an error message appears as follows:

 

Hi
Yes, I had exactly the same problem and had been attempting everything I could think of with no success during the Parallels pre-release period and after; the same error message appeared as you've attached. What worked for me was to run the cumulative installe and then rerun the SQL Server Express install, which then succeeded. It seems to need whatever the cumulative installer needs for the downloaded 2019 installer to work.

I hope this works for you as well.

All the best
Andy

 

Hi
Thank you Munford for your reply. This fix will be very helpful for me.

 

I've tried this update with full version of MS SQL Server, but still getting error when installing, anyone had success with this?

 

Hi, For who have problem with install SQL Server Express 2019. I confirmed Mundford answer solved this problem!
Steps I try
1. Install SQLServer 2019 Express >> Fail DB Service not install
2. Run Path from Mundford link
3. Run SQL Serve 2019 Express again>> Now, DB Server installed!! Thank you Mundford!!

 

Hello there,

Although I have done the above order correctly, a successful installation does not occur. Is there anyone else who is successful about the subject?

 

Same problem here but with Win11.

 

Yes, I couldn't succeed on win10, so I try and install Win11, but the result is still unsuccessful

 

It cannot be installed. I have tried almost everything. I am at 21390 version. I tried these steps: #6 but I got an error at the end.

 

Hello there,

I installed SQL 2014 32-Bit Version without any problems and it is working, now I will try for 2019 version update and share the results.

 

i forgot to post a picture

 

Hmm... SQL 2014 but 32bit version is installed indeed. But the documentation for 2017 and above says "You cannot upgrade a 32-bit instance of SQL Server to native 64-bit using SQL Server Setup". So it cannot be done (I've tried already)

Then I tried to install SQL 2014 64bit but I get the same unknown error (0xe0000235) as in SQL 2019... I suppose something is going wrong between 64bit and ARM

 

I have the same problem. I applied the fix that Mundford used, but without success!
I suspect it's a windows bug in build 21390.

 

Your suppose is correct. I installed SQL Server 2014 32-bit and it worked.
I tried installed 64-bit and gave an error.

 

64-bit driver bug on in the build 21390.
Mundford installed SQL Server 2019 64-bits on build 21376.
I didn't find any fix for this.

 

I have the same error when installing on win 11
Did anyone get it?

 

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.

 

Ya lo intenté varias veces siguiendo sus instrucciones y me sigue saliendo error, especificamente en la actualizaciòn de SQL Server 2019 "Servicios de Motor de base de datos (SQLEXPRESS)"

 

Hi! Make sure you use this version of Windows Insider Preview (Windows10_InsiderPreview_Client_ARM64_en-us_21354) you can update after sql is installed... otherwise it won't work, tried with the new one and didn't... Saludos
