Help Installing SQL Server Express on M1 Mac/Parallels

[Ohmylord]

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?

Doesn't really sound like an InstallAware issue, but a good place to start would be to run the command line non-silently to see what error the SQL Express Setup is throwing in interactive mode on your Windows VM hosted on Apple Silicon?
