Re: SQL Server Native Client is not supported on the current proce

I have not seen a scenario such as I'll tell you right now, but somehow this might happened to you.

When you open Programs and Features in CP, click on the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and click Remove button. "Select Instance" window will appear. There, you'll see installed components. Is there a "<Shared Component>" item in the "Installed Instances" list? If so, what's the version of that Shared Component item?

I'm not even sure if 9.x components would be listed there... Just a suggestion.
