When trying to install SQL Server Native Client it seems to jump to 90% right away and then hang there without ever continuing. The server also seems to get sluggish for a little while.
The environment that I'm attempting to install this on is as follows:
Windows Server 2003 32bit
SQL Server Native Client 2008 (tried 2008R2 as well)
Windows Installer 4.5
The server is a Terminal Server with multiple clients logged in. I tried installing the client once before I realized that Windows Installer was only v3 so I don't know if that is connected to it. The SQL Server that I need to connect to is on another server.
If I can't get this installed, is there any alternative? It's for an addon to an application that can otherwise run select, insert, delete, etc commands on the database but doesn't really have a capability to run exec commands.
Thanks
