Help Installing SQL Server Express on M1 Mac/Parallels
Posted: Thu Aug 29, 2024 9:23 am
Our setup installs SQL Server Express using:
Run Program SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe /Q /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQL /INSTANCENAME=SQLEXPRESS /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN /TCPENABLED=1 /NPENABLED=1 /BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
That works great on a Windows computer. We tried installing on a M1 Mac with Parallels 19 but it won't install SQL Server. I even tried just running SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe standalone and couldn't get it to install. Anyone found a way to get it to Install?
