>>Hi,

>>I downloaded the SQLNCLI.MSI file (SQL 2008 Native Client Setup) and saved it to a folder. Then I run this file but during installation I get error that "Error Reading from file d:\myfolder\sqlncli.msi. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it". Obviously the file is there. What am I missing?

This works. But I think the problem was that I had to click on the button and confirm that the drive should be selected on the local drive. At least, now when I copied the file to the c:\temp I did it and it worked. Thanks a lot.
