Weirdest SQL Server 2005 installation on a Vista x64 machine
While attempting to install SQL Server x64 I got a number of errors, so I ended up uninstalling all components I could find in the control panel, and reinstalling x32.
Now it was time for SP2, I ended having to download BOTH x64 and x32 versions as half my components are in each platform :S. Miraculously enough, it works just fine.
Here’s what I ended with:
Database Services x32
SQL Server Native Client x64
Client Components x32
Backward Compatibility x64
Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer x64
I installed first the x64 SP2, and then x32, and everything went smooth (aside from the 2x download size).
