When I attempt to uninstall the MS SQL Server 2008 Native Client from a Windows 10 machine I am presented with the error "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
I suspect that there was an earlier attempt at uninstalling the client that failed to complete so that there are pieces of the client still left, which is not detected by the Windows installer and prevents the following uninstallation attempts from succeeding. How do I resolve this?
