| Hi there,We've got a Windows 2003 (64 bit edition) box to use as our Database server.I installed SQL Server 2005 (Standard Edition) on the machine, but I have a feeling it has installed the 32 bit version and not the 64 bit version.The reason I think this is that the MSSQL directory is under the 32 bit program files directory and not the 64 bit directory, and also when I look at the service properties it says it's running from WOW6432 registry entry.Is there a separate disc for the 64bit version? Does the installer automatically work out which version to install or is there some sort of switch I have to do to tell it to install the 64 bit version.Many thanks for your time.Simon |

| Yes, there is a seperate disc. If you purchased through open or select licensing, you can download it from the MVLS website. Google search for MVLS.-Justin<a href="http://cmsjustin.blogspot.com"><b>cmsJustin</b>.blogspot.com</a><br><a href="http://www.twitter.com/cmsjustin">Twitter.com/<b>cmsJustin</b></a> |

| Just run 'select @@version' or check sql server log, they'll tell you if you have 32-bit or 64-bit sql. |

It should say on the HTML setup page on the CD also.
