How to deploy dbExpress database application without SQL native client 2008 installation?

Question

I am deploying dbExpress database application on a machine which doesn't have SQL Native client installed. I have copied DBXMSS.dll but I am getting an error like

DBX Error: Driver could not be properly initialized. Client library may be missing, not installed properly, or wrong version

Is it possible to run this application without installing the SQL Native client 2008? If yes, please advise.

Thanks.

Answer 1

No, it is not possible. You must have the native client installed. DBX requires that the drivers be present.
