I was able to use each of the scripts here to install SQL Server 2019 Express, 2019 Developer, 2022 Express and 2022 Developer successfully on Windows 11 on ARM in Parallels Desktop on a new M3 MacBook Pro. I went the batch file route to run the scripts and everything downloaded and installed without any issues. Uninstallation from the Control Panel was easy for each of the components that get installed as well including SSMS as well as individual components that make up a SQL Server Express or Developer installation.

I don't have an M1 or M2 Mac to test with but have this new M3 Mac and a lot of experience working with SQL Server on Windows and everything I've tested so far with SQL installed on Windows on x64 hardware works with Windows on ARM when SQL Server is installed using these scripts. These scripts were life savers for those like me who need SQL Server working on Windows on ARM to use their Mac to get SQL development related work done on Mac's with Apple Silicon.

Thank you very much! I've updated the ReadMe and I've added some hints regarding the folder because it seems to be a common cause of most of the reported issues.
