I'm trying to install the Microsoft System Center 2022 DPM Self Service Recovery tool intended to allow SQL Server DBAs to do their own recoveries (described and linked to at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/system-center/dpm/back-up-sql-server?view=sc-dpm-2022#allow-sql-server-admins-to-restore-data). The installer has an .msi extension. On Windows 11 when I first ran it (right-click and Install from Explorer) I got a message to install NET framework 3.5 SP1; so I did that using the Windows tool to install features (according to registry entries Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.5 and Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.5\SP it is in fact installed). Now when I run it, after clicking the Install button in the dialog, I get a pop-up "Launch setup.exe for installing." I've tried using the Powershell cmdlet unblock-file in case it's a problem with MotW but that hasn't solved it.
Ideas? Does this work for others?
thanks!
Martin
