17 | 17 |
|
18 | | -- You have a computer that's running an OS that has an earlier build of the Windows OS than Windows 10 Build 20348, such as Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2019. |

19 | 19 |
|
20 | | -- You apply a cumulative update (CU) to SQL Server 2022 using **setup.exe** from the command line.

|
24 | 24 | > System.EntryPointNotFoundException: Unable to find an entry point named 'GetNumaNodeProcessorMask2' in DLL 'kernel32.dll' |
25 | 25 |
|
26 | 26 | ## Cause |
27 | 27 |
|
28 | | -When the **setup.exe** runs on an OS version where the [GetNumaNodeProcessorMask2 API](/windows/win32/api/systemtopologyapi/nf-systemtopologyapi-getnumanodeprocessormask2) is unavailable, an exception appears in the setup console. |

29 | 29 |
|
30 | 30 | ## Resolution |
31 | 31 |
|
32 | | -No resolution steps are necessary as the exception does not affect the setup behavior or success of the update. The error message can be safely ignored. |
