How To BETTER Download And Install Sql Server Native Client 11.0
Chelsey Coletti
When you invoke sqlncli.msi, only the client components are installed by default. The client components are files that support running an application that was developed using SQL Server Native Client. To also install the SDK components, specify ADDLOCAL=All on the command line. For example:
Because applications such as SQL Server server and the SQL Server tools depend on SQL Server Native Client, it is important not to uninstall SQL Server Native Client until all dependent applications are uninstalled. To provider users with a warning that your application depends on SQL Server Native Client, use the APPGUID install option in your MSI, as follows:
I downloaded a native client sqlncli.msi but received the message 'Installation of SQL Server 2008 Native Client failed because a higher version already exists on the machine...' Is there another download to install or is there a way to copy certain files from a server already containing the desired Native Client and then performing the registration without doing a complete reinstallation?
For us, the answer (above/below?) allows access to SQL Server 2000 databases from SQL Server 2012 Integration Services packages that are hosted on a SQL Server 2012 database server running on Windows Server 2012 OS. We followed these suggestions to install SQLNCLI10 on our 2012 database server. Our problem occured because the hosting db server never had the old SQL 2008 "SQLNCLI10" installed. That is, it never had SQL Server 2008 installed or an older OS.
It is worth noting that when following the solution from squillman/technet/etc, while installing the 2008 SQLNCLI.msi on one of our new servers, we received the error "Installation of SQL Server 2008 failed because a higher version already exists on the machine...." Despite this, the driver was installed and worked properly without hurting 2012 db server functionality. It installed alongside the existing 2012 SQLNCLI11 driver nicely.
I realized that my office computer has SQL Express 2012 installed (I am at home right now) so it should have Native Client 11 on it. Sure enough. Do not know why I was able to install 2012 on Win10 there. Anyhoo, I tried to add the DSN on the office computer using native Client 11. I get past the login screen but when I try to select a default database from the drop down I get this error:
There are several ways to connect to SQL Server. The native client is one. But it is not recommended by Microsoft for new development work. In your case you probably want the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server. See the link helpfully provide by @HongOoi for more on this.
SQL Server Native Client version; Warning; Configuration Manager sites require a supported SQL Server Native Client version. To enable TLS 1.2 support, you must install a supported version of SQL Server Native Client on the specified site database server. For more information, see =2026746
When I search to download an install for SQL Server Native Client, I find the 2012 version, then find "Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server", which seems to be the new version of SQL Server Native Client. What should I be installing? Is it one of these, or something completely different? And I assume it should be installed on my site server? Any help is appreciated.
I am doing the pre-req checks and hit an error saying I need Native Client. Got it, but the documentation I was following doesn't mention that. I do some digging and discover that the SQL 2022 version (which is supported by MECM CB) doesn't include native client.
Please also note that as per Microsoft after SQL Server 2012 native client download no native clients of future SQL Server versions would be available for download separately and SQL Server 2012 native client can be used for SQL Server 2012 and later versions.
"The connection property set was missing a required property or the property value was unrecognized. Connection was attempted with an older version of SQL Server client communications software that is not compatible with the SQL Server database server."
We have verified that we have SQL Server native client version 11.3.6020 installed on the ArcMap workstation. We found that Native Client version 11.0 was installed on our SQL server virtual machine and ArcGIS server virtual machine (both housed on the same server over our network). We tried to download and install the latest native client version (11.3) on both of these servers. The installer says "an older version of native client was detected on your machine, do you want to upgrade?" or something to that effect. We say yes, install and restart the machine. We did this on both the SQL server and ArcGIS server VMs and they both still show version 11.0 when we run the odbcad32.exe command to check the drivers. We're stumped.
On my computer there are installed both SQL Server Client and SQL Server Native Client 11
I tried to connect both local database (2012) and lan server database (2005) but I get same error only using Xojo.
Giorgio, I connect to a remote MSSQL 2012 database server using the native client. My approach is to use a OLEObject to do so. This is only going to work on a Windows application, which works for me at the moment. (this is from a Windows hosted web application)
This code is definitely not going to work for you as-is, since it uses a module that I am not ready to share. However, this should give you the general idea on connecting to a remote server by IP address or URL - I can use either with this code, using the native client.

I'm using SQL server authentication and the credentials are correct, because I can log in via SQL Management Studio just fine. Native Client 5.0 is also installed. The SQL database is on another server.
I see in other threads that having multiple native clients can cause problems, and on the LF server I notice that Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 is also installed. Is this a potential source of the conflict? I don't know why or how it is installed, or how to tell if it is used. Is it possibly used by something else in Laserfiche?
I don't see anything about an option to install just the SQL drivers in the Rio install setup wizard on the server. Do I have to re-run the whole Laserfiche server installation to get the native client re-installed? Or can I just download the same version?
Why am I doubting about item 1 above ? When I tried our FIRST installation on a fresh OS, in fact he UPGRADED the existing database which was still there from the test server. So in fact, this was seen as a non-clean install at that moment.
Did you remember to install the client on the BigFix server machine as well? The client is required to be on the BigFix server machine in order for the server machine to function properly. Can you please check and let us know.
Hello, yes, I did.
But the issues are occuring BEFORE the client needs to be installed.
If I continue installing Console and Client after installing the server, the Console is almost empty. There are no sites at the bottom and even the Licensing sites is not available.
A client has device that connects by USB to a Windows 10 Pro laptop. Software installed on the laptop gathers data from the device, and sends the data across the internet via VPN to an SQL database using an ODBC connection. Everything was working on Friday but failed on Monday morning. Later on Monday I learned that at the database host they had updated software on the server which hardened the connection at their end.

As we have upgarded our Sep to 14 MP 2 and we have SQL 2008 r2 databse installed on remote computer . now we want t omigrate our database to sql 2016 on different server and in order to perform the same we need to upgrade native client also but we are unable to found sql natvi client 2016 . please suggest. could we use any older version of nativ client than SQL 2016 ?
Thnaks a lot, awaiting for the above information. actually i had also tested with Sql 2008 native client with SQl 2016 databse (on remote host) and it was working on UAT server but having some hesitation to apply in production hence raised this query.
Actually RR the native client is already installed as per documentation. Does the installed native client affect if I have local installation of SQL Server Express 2012 and am attempting to connect to SQL Server 2005 remotely? Does anyone know of any compatibility issues here?
What I installed is the Native Client driver x64 for SQL Server 2005 (same version as SQL server). Will not be updating server at least for next 6 months where we will be migrating to newer more capable hardware.
I have faced this problem several times while installing between SQL Server 2008 R2 standard and enterprise edition. The solution to the problem is that after un-installing the current instance of SQL Server 2008 on your machine, reboot and then remover SQL Server 2008 path from environment variables. Then reboot again and install the SQL Server native client (you will be prompted for that while you run SQL Server R2 2008 installation) because without native client you wont be able to install SQL Server R2 2008 properly.
Instructions provided describe how to ensure that Microsoft SQL Server Native Client (SNaC) is installed on ArcGIS Desktop products.
Even when ArcGIS Desktop software has been successfully installed, there can be issues establishing a direct connection to an ArcSDE database or upon opening existing .mxd files or .pmf files where the data sources are broken.
One possibility for this behavior could be that the Microsoft SQL Server Native Client is not installed on the client machine(s) attempting to connect to an ArcSDE database, or open an existing .mxd or .pmf file using an ArcSDE direct connection.
Beginning with ArcGIS 10, the SQL Server Native Client 2008, a prerequisite to making direct connections to SQL Server, is installed with ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Server, and ArcReader. This can optionally be installed with ArcGIS Engine.

Depending on the options chosen during installation, the Microsoft SQL Server Native Client (SNaC) may not have been installed. Procedure Please verify that the following steps have been completed.
- On the Windows client machine, in Add / Remove Programs, verify that 'Turn Windows features on or off' has been selected.
- Check to see if the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client has been installed. If the SQL Server 2008 Native Client has already been installed, then do not proceed to step 3 as this may not be the cause of the specific connection issues. If however, the SQL Server 2008 Native Client has not been installed, then proceed to step 3.
- Execute the ArcGIS Desktop setup.exe - Application. By deploying the setup.exe, the Microsoft SQL Server Native Client setup is included in the installation.
Note:
Do not execute the setup.msi as this does not install any prerequisite checks.
For additional information please review the following link:
ArcGIS 10 Enterprise Deployment - Once the SQL Server Native Client has been installed, proceed with establishing an ArcSDE direct connection or open an existing .mxd or .pmf file containing direct connection links to an ArcSDE SQL Server database.
