Need help installing SQL Server Native Client 11
I have an install that needs the SQL Server Native Client 11 for SQL 1012. I have created a PRQ and it is working but when it finishes I get a message baxk from installshield telling me it had an error or failed to complete correct. The Native client install is not running silent and I see the finish screen for it that says it has finished. Then get the error from installshield.

 

How can I stop this error message ?

 

Also how do I make it run silently?

 

I have the following in the silent command line

 

/qn /i"IACCEPTSQLNCLILICENSETERMS=YES"

 

I have tried different versions of this and nothing seems to work.

 

I could use some help with this.

 

Thank you

    Did you set up a prerequisite condition to check if the SQL Native Client 11 is installed on the target machine?

     

    I would create a condition to run the prerequisite if [SystemFolder]\sqlncli11.dll does not exists, or the file version is less than 2011.110.2100.60.

     

    Hope that helps.

  • Hi,

     

    yes I have the conditional check and that part is working fine.

     

    I have also fix the silent part and that is working fine. The problem I have right now is that after it installs I get a message from installshield that says "The installation of Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (x86) appears to have failed. Do you want to continue the installation?"

     

    If I look in control panel the native client has installed fine. If I run it not in silent mode and display all the dialogs the native client still installs fine but I continue to get the error message from installshield telling me it has failed.

     

    What is installshield checking that is causing this error message to display?

     

    Here is a copy of my PRQ file.

    ****EDIT****

     

    I just found that I was checking for the version 10 file. So I have changed the name and file version and I'm rebuilding to test right now.

     

    ***New Edit*****

     

    That fixed it. Thanks for getting me in the right direction.
