Note

Starting with Dynamics NAV 2018 cumulative update 41 and Dynamics NAV 2017cumulative update 54, the prerequisite SQL Server Native Client is no longer installed by Setup or included on the installation media (DVD). This change doesn't affect the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment installation if you upgrading from an earlier version, because the prerequisite should already have been installed. However, for a clean installation of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment, you'll have to manually install the SQL Server Native Client; otherwise, you may experience problems connecting the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment to the database. For more information about how to install this prerequisite, see Installation Notes.
