Installing SQL Native Client 2012 on Windows Sandbox

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2012 Native Client using the 64-bit sqlncli.msi downloaded from here onto a Windows Sandbox environment.

I get a missing DLL error whenever I reach the removing backup files step of the wizard.

I've googled around and some solutions say to get a copy of sqlncli11.dll and put it into the System32 folder, but that also prompts the error message above.

Any ideas what DLL might be missing from the Sandbox?

Hi JoshuaBrock-5603,
Could you please try to download sqlncli.msi from SQL Server 2012 SP4 Feature Pack?

Or you can get it from SQLServerMedia\<YOUR_SQL_ENU>\1033_ENU_LP\x64\Setup\x64.

Best Regards,
Amelia
