Error while installing SQL Server 2017 Express showing sqlncli.msi is missing in some path - sql-server-2017-express

I am trying to install SQL Server 2017 Express, but it is throwing this error:
sqlncli.msi is not found in the path
Screenshot illustrating the sqlncli.msi error:

I had the same issue, if you click cancel the next error should say something about a package from SQL Server 2012 Native Client is missing.
I then tried to install the sqlncli from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50402 and it said I already have a new version. I had to unistall "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client" on add or remove programs, and install the sqlncli again from the website I mention and it all worked out.

I had the same problem.
My solution, I uninstalled SQL Server 2012 Native Client and reinstall the SQL Server 2017.

The first two answers are more helpful and straight forward. Another way of installing sqlncli.msi is installing Microsoft SQL Server 2012 SP4 Feature Pack. It contains many packages including sqlncli.msi, which adds an additional value to your SQL server.
If you download only the native client as per #fpp.jesus's answer and if you want to install it using the command-line for some reason, the following command will be helpful.
msiexec /i sqlncli.msi ADDLOCAL=ALL APPGUID={0CC618CE-F36A-415E-84B4-FB1BFF6967E1}
'ADDLOCAL=All' argument will install SDK components along with the client components.

Problems with Umbraco version 8.4.0 on Windows 2016 Standard Server

I'm trying to install an Umbraco version 8.4.0 on Windows 2016 Standard Server.
The dev machine is Windows 10 Pro on which the installation works fine.
But when I deploy to the Windows 2016 Standard Server the pages loaded do not format well - the footer, header and other compositions setup in the back-end do render.
There are no 500 server errors or Javascript errors in console. I'm clueless about whats going wrong?
Has anyone installed Umbraco v8 on windows 2016 server, are there any special considerations for installing it?
Please could someone help me, I'm really stuck on it and not sure how to go and resolve it.
We gave "Network Service" permissions to modify the website folders. That fixed it, not sure though why because Umbraco was already running without the "Network services" in the permissions. It was only the new release of the website that got affected, the previous release had no issues without Network Services having these permissions.
If anyone get stuck with something like this should check the permissions for the website folders.

TFS 2017 on-premise can't install Marketplace extensions in connected mode

My TFS 2017 Update 2 on-premise is according to the Marketplace (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/) running in Connected Mode. Whatever extension I try to install in this mode results in the error message:
Something's gone wrong
We've encountered an error while downloading the extension. Please try
again later.
If I try to install the same extension in my VSTS account it works fine.
If I disconnect my TFS on-premise from the Marketplace the "Install" button changes to "Get it free" and I can get to the download page for the extension and get the extension that way.
The error message gives no clue as to where I should start searching for the root case. Is the Marketplace having issues or is the error on my end? Do I need to open a firewall port? Something else?
I have tried this on two separate connected TFS 2017 Update 2 on-premise installations and get the same behaviour. I have TFS Administrator (Console Admin) rights on both.
Please check the permissions first to make sure you have the correct permissions to install the extensions:
What do I need to install extensions?
Project collection administrators with Edit collection-level
information permissions can install extensions. If you don't have
permissions, you can request extensions instead.
Well, I tested on TFS 2017 Update3 (no update2 on my side) while connected to TFS and everything works as expected, cannot reproduce the issue...
However that might be an temporary network issue, so just as the error message said you can try that again later... If the issue persist, then as a workaround you can download the extension from Marketplace and upload to TFS to install.
You can also try upgrading to TFS 2017 Update 3, it should work for you.
Refer to Install extensions for Team Foundation Server (TFS) for details.

TFS 2017 Administrator Console not opening, giving error for assembly

I am getting below error while opening TFS Administrator Console.
The OS on server is - Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
Does it mean the installation has got corrupt and I need to re-install TFS Server?
I found one solution which solved the error. It was needed to change the below Registry key value to 1 in order to solve the error.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TeamFoundationServer\16.0\InstalledComponents\ApplicationTier

TF400069 You must install the "Client Tools Connectivity"

I have a small issue that is driving me crazy.
I'm trying to install TFS 2015 on a VM with Windows Server 2012 R2 and SQL SERVER 2016.
Everything is ok but my on Analysis Services Settings I get an error.
TF400069: When your configuration includes Reporting features on a
remote machine, you must install the "Client Tools Connectivity"
feature from SQL Server.
As you can see on the following screenshot "Client Tools Connectivity" is installed.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Please check the TFS requirements and compatibility, the supported SQL Server version is:
SQL Server 2014
SQL Server 2012 (minimum SP1)
SQL Server 2016 is not in the list yet. You need to use compatible SQL Server version.

How to make BundleTransformer work on Windows Server Core

Ever since we found dotLess stopped working for us our ASP.NET MVC project has been using BundleTransformer for our LESS bundling and minification. We are trying to migrate our CI build agents to use Windows Server Core (headless) and away from Windows Server Standard. When we did this we started receiving Internal Server Errors when trying to hit our pages. This seems to be blowing up inside of BundleTransformer.
We initially were using BundleTransformer with http://www.nuget.org/packages/JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.Msie
From reading this post I thought maybe it was that we were missing the dependency on Internet Explorer.
http://bundletransformer.codeplex.com/discussions/454495
I tried to use the v8 engine switcher and started getting server errors on my Windows Standard setup.
http://www.nuget.org/packages/JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.V8
Has anyone successfully managed to get BundleTransformer working on a Windows Server Core environment? Anything would help. Thank you.
You have installed the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 before you install the JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.V8 package?
Give an example of the error message.
