64 bit install problems - Management Studio Expr & Advanced Services & Toolkit

  • Hi folks

    I have a 64 bit Vista Home Premium PC SP1.

    I downloaded and attempted to install the 64 bit version of SQL Express and I then got an error message to do with the ASP.NET Version registration requirement.

    I then noticed a similar problem somebody else had & they solved it by doing the install/download as part of the Visual web Developer Expr installation - so I did the same. It seemed to work without any problems.

    I had previously downloaded the 64 bit Management Studio Expr file, so after installing SQL server I attempted to install the management Studio program. Anyhow after starting the install program, I discovered that the instructions were either in Japanese or Chinese.

    On the download page for SQL Server Express http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/download/default.aspx, Under section 3 on the RHS it talks about Advanced Services & the Toolkit. Presumably, those downloads are for the 32 bit version, so is it possible to get a 64 bit version of Reporting Services & full-text search & the toolkit?

    Anyway, if somebody could give me a bit of a clue I would really appreciate it.

    Kind regards

    Ross

  • My understanding is that Express only comes with 32-bit reporting services.

    It looks like some tweaking would need to be done (not sure if this applies here):

    You might also look here for some Vista considerations:
