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?
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
