Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client Package Failed

Question

_{Tuesday, November 13, 2012 6:44 PM}

I installed Visual Studio 2012 Professional on a Windows 7 machine.  The installation succeeded, but the final screen indicated that the following three items did not install.

1.  Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client Package Failed

2.  Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Command Line Utilities Package Failed

3.  Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB Package Failed

The log file had these errors related to these packages.

Acquiring package: sqlcmdlnutils_amd64, payload: sqlcmdlnutils_amd64, download from: bits://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=249729&clcid=0x409

MUX:  ExecuteError: Package (sqlncli_amd64) failed: Error Message Id: 1723 ErrorMessage: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this installation to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

I searched on this error and did not have any luck finding an answer.

I relaunched the installer for Visual Studio, selected the Modify button, checked the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools option, and hit the Update button.

Same error message when the update had finished. The log file had a different error message.

Verified existing payload: professional_finalizer at path: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\16DD6E8B-E10B-4B6D-BC2D-B2BF631094F2}v11.0.50727\packages\professional_finalizer.msi.

MUX:  ExecuteError: Package (sqlncli_amd64) failed: Error Message Id: 1723 ErrorMessage: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this installation to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

Any help figuring out why this is failing would be appreciated. I installed once with the downloaded iso. I thought perhaps that there was an issue with the iso, so I went back to a previous restore point. I installed again with the web installer and have the same issue.

Hi Talusrunner,

>The installation succeeded, but the final screen indicated that the following three items did not install.

Can you post the print screen here?

Please collect your install logs with this:

http://aka.ms/vscollect

After you run Collect.exe, you'll find vslogs.cab in your %temp% directory. Please upload vslogs.cab to a public site, like SkyDrive, and post the link here.

Thanks Ego,

I ran vscollect.  Here is a link to the resulting cab file that I uploaded to skydrive.  The form is not letting me submit the link, so here is the part after the dot com ending

I don't have a screen shot of the final screen after installation, but this is the exact text from the screen

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client Package Failed
 
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Command Line Utilities Package Failed
 
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB Package Failed

Hi Talusrunner,

I checked the log, I couldn't find any error messages in it.

One more question, did you install Sql Server 2012?

Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 is installed when you install SQL Server 2012 or the SQL Server tools. More information you can refer to:

Hi Ego,

I downloaded sql server 2012 standard edition and tried installing just the Management Tools - Complete

The setup failed.  The error on the screen is below.  I uploaded the log file to sky drive.  The form is not letting me submit the link, so here is the part after the dot com ending

redir?resid=190CFFB514BC8F2A!106

Action required:
Use the following information to resolve the error, and then try the setup process again.

Feature failure reason:
An error occurred for a dependency of the feature causing the setup process for the feature to fail.

Error details:
§ Error installing SQL Server Native Client Access Component
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this installation to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
Error code: 1723

I have the exact same problem only with Visual Studio 2012 Express.  I am running Windows 7 on a 64 bit machine.  I tried to install SQL Server Express 2012 (64 bit) and that also failed.  Do I really need this?  All I am doing is some basic C++ programming.  When I look in Program Files - I have Microsoft SQL Server (folders 90 and 110)

I still don't have an answer.  I was hoping ego would take a look at my second log file.  I am trying to install the Azure SDK and the native client install is a prereq; otherwise, I would not have to install.

We can see the error log is in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20121119_163323\sqlncli_Cpu64_1.log

Please show the content of log here.

I have the exact same problem when installed Visual Studio Professional 2012 on Windows8, you can see the screenshot  https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=FD478D59D7B1A236!197&authkey=!AJCqFTVdUl34fag and the log https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=FD478D59D7B1A236!185&authkey=!AFZg7eisF-iEyiI in my skydrive.

Thanks in advance for your help :)

Hi Talusrunner, recently I installed visual studio express web 2013 and had the same exact problem, after I rebooted my machine for all the updates to install and run the install program again and selected to repair this time the installation / repair installed correctly and runs fine. It might work for u as well ?

did anyone ever get a satisfactory answer to this?

I've got the same problem installing VS2013 Pro on Windows 8.1. the three SQL packages don't install

Tried installing SQL Server 2012 Developer and get same problem, it falls over installing the native client. 

There seems to be a dll missing that the SQLServer Native client needs but the log doesn't tell you what the dll is.

I've made sure .NET 3.5 Framework is there, disabled my anti-virus and windows firewall, run setup as administrator... no joy

anyone?

exact same problem, from identical install ISO or direct sqlncli.msi download & run:

instal worked on a w7 sp1 x64 EN (ultimate)

but

install did not work on a w7 sp1 x64 FR (ultimate)

I very much suspect access rights (according to quick search, windows installer error code 1723 is frequent in other areas too and has often nothing to do with dll but access rights or specific registry corruption preventing access to the dll) but have not found yet which one is the culprit in my environment.

Likely scenario: reinstal W7. No fun. Best of luck.

You are right, after I've disable all the settings under User Access Control, it works perfectly again.
