Error installing SQL Server: The required package SqlSupport.msi does not exist

  • 772

I'm installing SQL Server 2017, but when it gets to the Ready to Install step , I get the following issue :

Error: The required MSI package 'C:\Developer\Dev\2058_ESM_LP\x64\setup\SqlSupport.msi' doesn't exist.

I don't know how to fix this error, I don't know what an MSI is and what I should do. How can I fix this issue and install SQL Server 2017?

  2. It happened to me with SQL 2016, and the problem was that I had SQL2017 installed in English and my installer was in ESP, the steps to solve it should be:

    • Change the Windows language to that of the ISO
    • If you don't want to change the language, unzip the ISO and copy the folder "3082_ESN_LP" and rename it to "1033_ENU_LP"
    • Re-run the SQL installer and so when it looks for this file again it will find it.

    it worked for me

    You have to change the language to Spanish Spain and restart your PC so that it is modified so it will let you install
