thanks Urbel and Erland, it was the missing Microsoft Windows Code Signing PCA 2024 certificate that where missing.
It seems that you are experiencing issues with a silent failure during the offline installation of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) version 22. According to the documentation, a common cause for this issue is related to the installation of certificates. If the required certificates are not installed properly, the installer may fail silently.
To resolve this issue, ensure that you have downloaded and installed the Microsoft Windows Code Signing PCA 2024 certificate. This certificate is necessary for offline installations and can prevent the silent failure you are encountering. You can find more information on how to validate and install the certificates in the SSMS installation documentation.
Additionally, make sure you are using the correct command-line options when running the installation to avoid any issues with missing components that might require internet access. Using the --noWeb switch can help ensure that the installer does not attempt to access the internet during the installation process.
If the problem persists, consider checking the installation logs for any specific error messages that could provide further insight into the failure.
