I am installing SQL Server 2012 native client on a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 virtual machine using the /L*v option to msiexec.exe. The installation fails and the log says this:
Action start 10:28:17: LaunchConditions.MSI (s) (B4:E8) [10:28:17:433]: Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client -- Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system. For information on supported configurations, see the product documentation.
Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system. For information on supported configurations, see the product documentation.
Action ended 10:28:17: LaunchConditions. Return value 3.
Action ended 10:28:17: INSTALL. Return value 3.
According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280356.aspx, I can't see why it isn't working. The operating system is clearly supported. What gives?
