Windows server 2019 standard

Has anyone been able to install PureMessage on Windows server 2019 (standard)?

The latest version of Sophos PureMessage for Exchange can not connect to SQL server (neither SQL server express bundled, or SQL Server Standard edition 2014) on Windows 2019 standard during PureMessage setup/installation on the server.

The message is:

"Unable to connect to "[hostname]". Please ensure that the selected SQL Server instance is available and that you have the access rights to connect to it."

I have checked all the connections, and SQL server is running and receiving connections. The SQL server is on the same server as the PureMessage installation (localhost).

Is there is preview version that might work with Windows Server 2019?
