Have SQL2014 Express installed trying to link server to a SQL 2008 Std. Both on 64-bit machines (SQL2014 Exp is Windows 7 and SQL2012 Std is Window2008R2 server). Lots of errors for the provider no matter what one I use. Downloaded and installed SQLNCLI10 and SQLNCLI11.Tried an ODBC connection and that works fine.Tried using GUI and also sp_addLinkedServer same results.Error is:Cannot create an instanced of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server xxxxx/xxxxx. Error: 7302 the provider designation changes for each one I try but the error continues.This is perplexing to say the least.
