Description
I'm trying to install SQL server on my computer to learn database, but when I open the .EXE file this message appears:
"The requested file cannot be downloaded. This could indicate that the installer version is no longer supported. Download again from the download site"
I re-download from the mentioned site and the same thing happens

The screenshot is in Portuguese, the same thing is written in parentheses above the photo
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
I'm new to programming and I have no idea what could have caused this.
