Installing SQL 2005 on Windows 7
This post is mostly for my memory when I need to rebuild.
When installing SQL 2005 Express on Windows 7 (32 bit), I ran into the error:
“An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cannot be found”
The fix:
- Fire up the setup application and let the files extract
- Go find sqlncli.msi and run it. Mine was here:
- Choose repair and wait for that to finish.
- Now finish with the rest of SQL install
Hopefully this doesn’t bust my sql client in any way.
