MSSQL 2005 Express Install Problem

After 30 or 40 install attempts, I'm further than I've ever been. Now I'm at the point where I get the following error logged:

msg=[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Encryption not supported on the client.

I get this at the point of installing the SQL Server Database Services, i.e., the native client, MSXML6 etc. pieces installed without incident. Prior to installation I rampaged through every piece of previous MSSQL stuff and cleaned it out the best I knew how. I also installed the 2.0 Framework. I'm running XP Pro SP2. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Al

You need to make sure "SQL Native Client" is uninstalled before you start the Express installation. either by doing it from the add/remove programs or manually by removing it from the registry.

Hope this helps,

Mohammad.

Thanks Mohammad - this enabled my install to complete successfully, so I marked your response as the "answer." However, although the server appears to be running, when I try to access it with SQL Server Management Studio Express CPT, the splash screen appears for a millisecond then disappears, leaving no (apparent) error trail. However, I can't help but believe I'm further along than I was previously :-).

Thanks again,
