Solution

  • If you are running the setup from a mounted ISO, copy the content of media to a local drive and start setup.exe from this location.

    Also please check if you have any SSMS that is version 18.x which is older than version 18.3.1. If you have then uninstall this first. If you need SSMS then proceed install the latest version from Download SSMS. After this try running the setup that you have copied locally and check if the installation can now proceed.
