Missing SQL Provider for Linked Server

Hello Spicy People!

I am running a SQL server that was recently upgraded from 2008 to 2012 Enterprise and need to add a Linked Server within SSMS.  When I try to add the Server Link using a SQL Server type, the following error is received:

The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" has not been registered. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7403)

When I view the list of providers under Linked Servers SQLNCLI11 is missing.  Anyone know if this provider should be present and if so how it can be added?

Thanks!
