  • Thanks for the response. Finally the issue is resolved.

    Successfully installed CU13 for one instance on the server.

    I followed the workaround to copy sql server 2008 r2 native client dll(sqlncli10.dll) from other servers and CU13 was successful. Finally CU13 was successful for one instance and i will install CU13 on remaining instances tomorrow after server reboot as setup needed server reboot.

    Below were the list of work arounds followed to resolve the issue.

    The workaround on step7 finally resolved the issue:-)

    "1. Repaired the shared features still CU failed with same error"

    "2.Repaired the sql server instance for one instance and it

    failed with same error"

    "3.Tried Uninstalling sql server native client and then reinstalled it

    "6.uninstalled existing CU4 and tried directly installed Cu11.
