PHP install/MSSQL driver issue

[deluxephp15]

I'm trying to connect to my SQL Server 2008 DB using the MS driver but I'm having some issues. Any ideas?

Here is my test connection using Microsoft's driver

<?php
/* Specify the server and connection string attributes. */
  $serverName = "(local)\SQLj";

/* Get UID and PWD from application-specific files.  */
$uid = file_get_contents("D:\PHP\u.txt");
$pwd = file_get_contents("D:\PHP\ppp.txt");
$connectionInfo = array( "UID"=>$uid,
                         "PWD"=>$pwd,
                         "Database"=>"AdventureWorks");

/* Connect using SQL Server Authentication. */
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
if( $conn === false )
{
     echo "Unable to connect.</br>";
     die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}

/* Query SQL Server for the login of the user accessing the
database. */
$tsql = "SELECT CONVERT(varchar(32), SUSER_SNAME())";
$stmt = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $tsql);
if( $stmt === false )
{
     echo "Error in executing query.</br>";
     die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}

/* Retrieve and display the results of the query. */
$row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($stmt);
echo "User login: ".$row[0]."</br>";

/* Free statement and connection resources. */
sqlsrv_free_stmt( $stmt);
sqlsrv_close( $conn);
?>

Have you tried going to the link in the error message?

Yes I have. I did notice that the message wants be to download "Microsoft SQL Server 2011 Native Client ODBC driver for x86", but I am running 64bit Windows 7 and MSSQL Express Edition with Advanced Services (64-bit).

The x86 driver wont install but the x64 package was already installed.
