SQL Express failed to install


During SQL Server Express installation on Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition next unexpected error occurs:

Product: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client -- Error 1706. An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'sqlncli.msi'.

Workaround:
Extract 'sqlncli.msi' file from a package and install separately, then run SQLEXPR32 again.
