Hallo Ace,

To resolve the issue you are having with SQL, you will need to use the following workaround:

  • On your computer, you will need to go to the Control Panel and then click on Programs and Features.
  • Locate Add Remove Programs and then get rid of any previous installations of all the SQL Server components. That should include the SQL Native Client.
  • After you are done with the uninstallation, you will need to get rid of the .Net Framework 2.0 Beta 2 or earlier that you may be having on your machine.
  • After that you can rerun setup.

That should help you resolve the issue successfully.

Regards,

Carl
