    Hi

    Could someone please help me find out whether the above product is 32-bit or 64-bit or does it depend on the OS it is being installed on?

    I am planning on installing the above product on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit.

    Thanks

    Mark

    With a 64-bit OS you can run either 32-bit or 64-bit SQL. Unless you have a really good reason to run the 32-bit version, don't run that.

    So just clicking on the Setup.exe wil install the 64-bit version by default because its on a 64-bit OS?

    Should do.

    Once the initial screen comes up, you can check. It's the options menu (right at the bottom)
