Hello,

Iam trying to install SQL2008 Std Edtn 64-bit edition on Windows 2008
64-bit. When I put in the SQL install CD, I see a 'setup.exe'. Is this the
same for 64 bit as well means will the setup automatically detect OS 64bit
and install SQL likewise? I went into the 'x64' folder and tried to execute
'setup100' executable but it gives an error mentioning to execute
'setup.exe'.

I went thorough with 'setup.exe' and no where it has mentioned about 32bit
or 64 bit? Iam wondering if the install would end up as 32bit, which is not
what I want. Has anyone performed this setup?


tia,

The setuup should identify your system and run an appropriate 'setup'
within a directory

Yep. Thats what happened. Iam sure this was not the case before as I have
seen clients running 32-bit on 64-bit OS....

Thanks Uri!
