Question Re: Native client for MS SQL is not installed. in Technology Q&A

Native client for MS SQL is not installed.

Former Member — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 08:57:15 GMT

I've been trying to install Solution Manager 7.1 on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 MSSQL2012 but i'm facing the following error right after i chose MSSQLSRV in the define parameters phase:

"Native client for MS SQL is not installed". I can see the native clients is installed already in the program lists and can see it in the ODBC Drivers tab as i used the script "SQL4SAP" to install the database and it was finished successfully. Please, provide me with information if you do have any about this issue, thanks. (note: I'm doing a central installation, not sure why native client is needed)

The native client for MSSQL 2012 is already installed but SAP Istallation Master for Solution Manager7.1 can not detect the Native Client for MS SQL. I can see it is installed in the "Programs" in control panel.

Hello Mohamed,

Which SWPM and installation master DVDs are you using during this installation?
