SQL Server Native Client 11.0 download for Windows 7 32 bit
It is suppose to work. After searching an hour, MS claims it can be installed as part of the new SQL Server in one of the directories.
Our development group doesn't have access to the servers.
Where can this installation (or dll) be located? Microsoft has made this extremely difficult.
So difficult that there is an exploit phishing site that pretends to download the driver, but actually installs maleware.
We are also running a SQL Server 2008 on a server.
Do we also need to upgrad it to this newer DLL? Would it help?
