Error: SQL Server Native Client cannot be found

Problem:
Today I tried to install SQL Server 2005 Developer edition in my system. During the installation, it throws the given error:


---------------------------
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup
---------------------------
An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'sqlncli.msi'.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Cause:
System already contains another version of "SQL Server Native Client". So that it throws the error.

Solution:
Uninstall "SQL Server Native Client" thru "Add and Remove Programs"
Re-install SQL Server 2005 Again
