SQL Server 2008 Native Client cannot be found

 Hit a weird issue while trying to install SQL server 2008 native client. I'm sure i have the correct installer and is extracted to local drive. Throw me resource unavailable 'sqlncli_x64.msi' not found.

Log file shows : "An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'sqlncli_x64.msi'."

Endup is the issue with previous installation caused some incomplete setup on the client, go into control panel, find the SQL 2008 native client.
Unintall the existing client, then reinstall. Everything run successfully after that.

HTTP Error 401.3 when browsing CRM page

If this error happen to show when browsing CRM page:

HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized
You do not have permission to view this directory or page because of the access control list (ACL) configuration or encryption settings for this resource on the Web server.

First navigate to CRM application pool, check the Anonymous setting. Find out what is the identity.
By default is set to IUSR.

Then navigate to CRM folder, make sure you gave the permission to "IUSR" & "IIS_IUSRS" read and write permission. Remember to replace child permission for all items in subfolders.

This steps solved my issues ;)
