Jawab SQL Server 2005 install error - Native Client

    I have an old production server running SQL Server 2000. I am trying to install a named instance of SQL Server 2005 on the machine as well. During the install I get the error "An installation package for the production Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'sqlncli.msi'.

    I understand that the fix for this is to remove the current verion of SQL Server Native Client and rerun the install. Since I have a production application that uses the SQL Server 2000 instance will uninstalling SQL Server Native Client affect the application?

    Hello,

    No, it won’t affect the SQL Server 2000 instance at all.

    Hope this helps.
