title: Error when installing Microsoft Sql Server 2019, cannot find the microsoft OLE DB Driver
body: <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/MkdWu.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Error given</a></p>
  <p>I am having trouble installing Microsoft SQL server 19 Express (I tired dev aswell, it does the same thing). It keeps giving me the error:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Error Description: An installation package for the product Microsoft
  OLE DB Driver for SQL server cannot be found, Try installing again
  using a valid copy of the installation pacakage 'msoledbsql.msi'</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>So what I tried was redownloading it from <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/oledb/download-oledb-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver15" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/oledb/download-oledb-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver15</a> and running the .msi file. It runs fine and gives no errors but it still does not fix the issue. It still will not find the file and without it I cannot install the program. Or am I using the wrong driver for it? The other thing I have tried is when clicking on the .msi it gives me the option to remove or repair.  I've done both as well (reinstalling after remove) but it still gives me the error. I'm very very lost at this point. Could anyone possibly help?</p>
