  HI,

  I have a 32 bit application which uses SQL server native client to connetc to server DB.

  My application has to support on win 7 64 bit OS.

  Now we are using SQL native client 2008. But still my application loads sqlncli.dll which fails because we have sql native 2008.

  How will i know that application is using sql server native client 2005? Via connection string?

  And when i install sqlncli.msi separately in win 7 64 bit,unlike sql 2005 pacakge which install ms sql server native client also, it fails saying 'pkg is not supported on the processor type'.

  Inputs please.
