The 'SQLNCLI' provider is not registered on the local machine, sql server 2012 - sql

Working on deploying an application from my development box to a client. On the client when I run my exe, I get the error "The 'SQLNCLI10' Provider is not registered on the local machine.
I'm developing in SQL Server 2012. I have tried installing sqlncli.msi on the target machine with no luck.
Can anyone tell me what package I need to install on the client machine to get my app to work? And if possible provide a URL to said package?
Thanks!

Figured out I needed the 2008 version as opposed to the 2012 version.

Are you perhaps working on a 64 bit machine and used the 32-bit install?
Here's the 64-bit link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=188401&clcid=0x409

Use SQLNCLI11 for connecting to SQLserver 2012
eg:
Provider=SQLNCLI11;Data Source=trv6s177;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=DPVCube_Stage
Downloads
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=239649&clcid=0x409
X86 Package (sqlncli.msi)
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=239650&clcid=0x409
X64 Package (sqlncli.msi)

Some updates:
SQLNCLI11 works on windows 10 as well, and it can connect SQL 2012 and 2014 (not tested on later SQL versions)
This is the latest version available
At the time of writing, the most updated package can be found here:

PHP 5.5 and MSSQL driver: Installing ODBC Driver 11 in Windows Server 2012 R2

I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 with IIS 8.5, and another server with MSSQL 2012. I must install PHP in IIS and connect to MSSQL, and I don't have Internet available for Web PI.
I managed to install PHP 5.5 and I'm able to run phpinfo(), and I also assured that php.ini is being loaded from C:\php\php.ini.
I was also able to load sqlsrv driver, it reports in example sqlsrv.ClientBufferMaxKBSize 10240 10240.
But when I execute a php file that connects to DB, I get a message
This extension requires the ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server. Access the following URL to download the ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server for x86: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163712
I went to that site and it says
Supported operating systems for version 3.1 of the driver include Windows Server 2012 R2`.
It says
Version 3.1 requires Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 (or higher) for SQL Serverand points tohttp://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36434`.
In that page, in System Requirements, WinServer 2012 R2 is not listed. When I try to install msodbcsql.msi I get message
Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operation system. For information on supported configurations, see the product documentation.`
Well I'm now stuck. I need PHP in WinServer 2012 R2 and IIS 8.5 connecting to MSSQL 2012. But its driver requires ODBC 11, which seems to not support latest WinServer.
Is there any hope, or will I need to wait for Microsoft to support its own OS in its own drivers?
Be sure to download the 1033\x64\msodbcsql.msi (4.4 MB) installer. Even though you are using PHP x86, you need the x64 installer since the OS is x64. I had the same issue and my app now works with PHP x86 after installing the x64 installer.

Installing ArangoDB on Windows Server 2008

I'm having difficulty getting Arango 1.4.9 working on my Windows 2008 Standard (SP2) server. It's a fresh install. When I try to start Arango Server I receive this message:
The procedure entry point TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll
I have tried both the 64bit and 32bit versions. I have run the installer as an administrator and vice versa. Any ideas?
TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive is from a newer Windows API. The Windows 2008r2 build uses newer Windows API features such as SRW (Slim/Reader Writer) API to improve performance. These are not available in Windows Server 2008.
I assume that you must recompile for Windows 2008 or ask for a suitable binary in the support forum (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/arangodb).

Error 0x84b10001 when installing SQL Server 2012 on a machine with VS2013

I'm trying to install SQL Server Express with Service Pack 1 on my Win8 Pro (x64) development machine and I'm consistently getting an error 0x84b10001 when trying to install it:
Antivirus is disabled during the installation (done as Administrator) and I tried 2 versions of the SQL Server Express package and I'm getting the same issue with both.
I'm getting the same issue whether I'm trying the x86 or x64 packages.
I suspect that the issue comes from the fact that Visual Studio 2013 has already installed some SQL Server packages but I do not see any way to update and modify these to add the Management Studio for istance.
Well, turns out that this cryptic error is due to an older instance of SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) being present.
After uninstalling MSDE, the SQL Server 2012 setup worked without errors.
Create a new local user with administative rights and try the installation again. In my case it solves the problem with MSSQL 2008R2.
Create new user with administrative privileges and install using that user. It worked.
Remove folder:
C:\Users[USER ID]\AppData\Local\Microsoft_Corporation
It worked for me.
If you try to install SQL Server 2014 and get this error, use this web site:
http://anewdomain.net/2013/10/21/how-to-enable-net-framework-2-0-and-3-5-in-windows-8-1-for-older-programs/
You should install .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.5 first. You should check the framework versions on your PC. If you have only 4.5, you will continue to get the same error code.
Anyway, I fixed my trouble.
I hope it helps you too.
In my case, it was because trying to install an x86 package on an x64 windows, installing x64 package worked for me.

How to install SQL Server 2005 Express in Windows 8

I tried to install SQL Server 2005 Express SP3 x64 on Windows 8 but the installer gives me an error:
An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL server native
Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy
of the installation package 'sqlncli_x64.msi'
How can I solve the problem?
I had the same problem. But I also had to perform additional steps. Here is what I did.
Perform the following steps (Only 64bit version of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition tested on Windows 8 Pro 64bit)
Extract sqlncli.msi / sqlncli_x64.msi from SP3 or SP4. I did it from SP4
Install sqlncli
Start SQL Server 2005 Setup
During setup I received an error
The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."
Don't click cancel yet. From an installation of SQL Server 2005 SP3 or SP4 copy SQLSERVR.EXE and SQLOS.DLL files and put them in your SQL install folder.
Click RETRY
For STEP 5 above: Although I didn't try looking into SP4 / SP3 setup for SQLSERVR.EXE and SQLOS.DLL but if you don't have an existing installation of SQL Server 2005 SP3/SP4 then maybe try looking into the SP3/SP4 EXE (Compressed file). I am not sure if this may help. In any case you can create a VM and install SQL Server 2005 with SP3/Sp4 to copy the files for Windows 8
I had a different experience loading SQL Server 2005 Express on Windows 8. I was using the installer that already had SP4 applied so maybe that explains the difference. The first error I received was when Setup tried to start the SQL VSS Writer. I just told it to Ignore and it continued. I then ran into the same error Sohail had where the SQL Server service failed to start. There was no point in following the rest of Sohail's method since I already was using a SP4 version of SQLServr.exe and SQLOS.dll. Instead, I just canceled the install rebooted the machine and ran the install again. Everything ran fine the second time around.
The place I found Sohail's technique invaluable was when I needed to install SQL Server 2005 Standard on Windows Server 2012. We have a few new servers we're looking to roll out with Windows 2012 but we didn't feel the need to upgrade SQL Server since the 2005 version has all the functionality we need and the cost to license SQL 2012 on these boxes would have been a 5-figure sum.
I wound up tweaking Sohail's technique a bit by adding steps to revert the SQLServr.exe and SQLOS.dll files so that I could then apply SP4 fully. Below are all the steps I took starting from a scratch install of Windows Server 2012 Standard. I hope this helps anyone else looking to get a fully updated install of SQL Server 2005 x64 on this OS.
Use Server Manger Add roles and features wizard to satisfy all of SQL's prerequisites:
Select the Web Server (IIS) Role
Add the following additional Web Server Role Services (note that some of these will automatically pull in others, just accept and move on):
HTTP Redirection
Windows Authentication
ASP.NET 3.5 (note that you'll need to tell the wizard to look in the \Sources\SxS folder of the Windows 2012 installation media for this to install properly; just click the link to "Specify an alternate source path" before clicking Install)
IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility
IIS 6 WMI Compatibility
Start SQL Server 2005 Install, ignoring any compatibility warnings
If SQL Server service fails to start during setup, leave dialog up and do the following:
Backup SQLServr.exe and SQLOS.dll from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn
Replace those two files from a working copy of SQL Server 2005 that already has had SP4 applied (alternatively, extract them from the SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4 distributable using 7-Zip, here's a helpful write-up.)
Return to setup, hit Retry and setup will now run to completion.
Stop SQL Service and restore orignal versions of SQLServr.exe and SQLOS.dll (or else SP4 doesn't think it is needed in the next step)
Install SQL Server 2005 SP4
Install SQL Server 2005 SP4 Cumulative Hotfix 5069 (Windows Update wasn't offering this for some reason so I had to download and install manually)
If you want the latest documentation, install the latest version of SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Microsoft says the SQL Server 2005 it's not compatible with Windows 8, but I've run it without problems (only using SP3) except the installation.
After you run the install file SQLExpr.exe look for a hidden folder recently created in the C drive. Copy the contents to another folder and cancel the installer (or use WinRar to open the file and extract the contents to a temp folder)
After that, find the file sqlncli_x64.msi in the setup folder, and run it.
Now you are ready the run the setup.exe file and install SQL server 2005 without errors
I found that on Windows 8.1 with an instance of SQL 2014 already installed, if I ran the SQLEXPR.EXE and then dismissed the Windows 'warning this may be incompatible' dialogs, that the installer completed successfully.
I suspect having 2014 bits already in place probably helped.
install "SQL Express 2005 service pack 4" version "directly".
it contains sql Express 2005 inside . dont let the name fool you
runs succesfuly. from my experince
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 4 on Windows Server 2012 R2
Those steps are based on previous howto from https://stackoverflow.com/users/2385/eduardo-molteni
download SQLEXPR.EXE
run SQLEXPR.EXE
copy c:\generated_installation_dir to inst.bak
quit install
run inst.bak/setuip/sqlncli_x64.msi

This works with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 4 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=184

.mdf is too new (661) my database supports version 655

I am using SQL Server 2008 express and i want to import .mdf and i get this error:
.mdf version is 661, your db supports the version 655
Which version is 661 and how to import it in sql Server 2008.
Install SQL Server 2008 EXPRESS R2. There is a bug in the Web Platform Installer and it still thinks EXPRESS R1 is the latest version.
You will need to apply a service pack. Check Microsoft Update.
Version 661 sounds like the format used by server 2008 R2 so it looks like someone has installed the beta and then attached your DB to it.
See this link for some more details
http://www.sqlskills.com/BLOGS/PAUL/post/SQL-Server-2008-R2-bumps-the-database-version.aspx
Express 2008 - like without any service pack? Try getting your hands on the latest express version (they did not get service packs, but new installers) and install that. Chance we talk about 2008 R2 express, which should run around somewhere as beta?
You have probably selected the instance name on the dialog box that comes when you try to add a connection from the server explorer in VS 2010. Try giving only the server name and it should work.
