Broken Microsoft download links

I have discovered specifically in AI 14.4.2 and 17.3 that the following 4 download links are broken: -

SQL Server Native Client 2012 SP3 x64
https://download.microsoft.com/download ... qlncli.msi

SQL Server Native Client 2012 SP3 x86
https://download.microsoft.com/download ... qlncli.msi

SQL Server ODBC Driver 11 x64
http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... dbcsql.msi

SQL Server ODBC Driver 11 x86
http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... dbcsql.msi

The problem is unlikely to be limited to these versions or these installers.

Does AI verify the links before each release or do they only verify new links as they are added?

Re: Broken Microsoft download links

Hello,

I have tested this and I was indeed able to reproduce the issue.

I have forwarded this to our development team and this will be fixed in a future version of Advanced Installer.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
