sqlncl.dll file missing

  • Hello Masters,

    We are in process to upgrade SQL server 2008 R2 to SP3. But during Service pack installation we found some native client file (sqlncl.dll) missing.

    I tried to use repair option, but it did not help. Even I tried to re-install Native client and all other tools, but no luck.

    Can you please help me in this regards ?

    Thanks in advance,

    Jitendra

  • How to do that ?

    Using Command prompt ?

    Click the Start button.

    Type "command" in the search box... DO NOT hit ENTER yet!

    While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit ENTER.

    You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.

    Click Yes.

    Type the following command: regsvr32 /u sqlncli.dll.

    Hit ENTER. This will UN-REGISTER your file.

    Type the following command: regsvr32 /i sqlncli.dll.

    Hit ENTER. This will RE-REGISTER your file.

    Close the command prompt window.

    Re-start the program associated with sqlncli.dll error.

    I tried it but during Re-Registration its giving an error.

  • post the error you get when you register it
