Can't install SQL Express

It fails because it can't find sqlncli.msi. I looked in the temp directory and it was there

Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'sqlncli.msi'.I found an old post that led me to the solution. The proposed solution was to extract the files from SQLEXPR and install SQLNativeClient by hand and then un-install it. When I ran the .msi file, it found an apparent stealth installed SQLNativeClient (Add/Remove did not show it).

Installation completed
