    On 64-bit machines you will always see this prompt when adding or removing features so it is recommended you keep this file for future use. If you are a network administrator or have the installation source copied to your hard drive, you can also create this directory in the root of the original installation source directory and the setup executable will automatically find SQLSysClrTypes.msi<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
