The program lies within Development Tools, more precisely Database Tools. But unfortunately I cant find a download link for SQl server 2005 Standard (64 bit).If any one. The following versions: 2017.0, 2012.0 and 12.0 are the most frequently downloaded ones by the program users. I have been using SQL server 2005 Standard (32-bit).
you'll need SQL install media that already has SP3 installed, i know its a bit annoying. For SQL Server 2005, you need to be on SP3 to be compatible on Windows 7 or 8. Finally, this install was only the initial step in getting my laptop set up for work/development so I will not be concerned about compatibility issues until I am done installing stuff and then begin to download updates and service packs/patches. This PC program deals with '.sql', '.xdl' and '.tdf' files. All editions of SQL Server 2005 SP3 and SQL Server 2008 SP1 are supported on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 or later. When prompted about VS2005 compatability issues, I just picked "Run Program" since this will be addressed by SP1 updates, etc. Microsoft SQL Server is the database management. After that, everything was as smooth as one would expect.įor SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT install, the only event to note was that I allowed the package to re-upgrade the workstation components. Download the latest version of Microsoft SQL Server for Windows. I just made the switch to 圆4 Vista Ultimate on my recently acquired laptop and your reply got me going while trying to install the SQL2005EE SP2 Adv Services (SQLEXPR_ADV) and Toolkit (SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT) downloads.įor the SQLEXPR_ADV segment, I just did an Add/Remove on the SQL Server Native Client prior to hitting the "Next" button displayed right after completing the prerequisites install phase.
