Having some issues where after downloading the 2008 sql server developer r2 from the licensing website. When I click on the setup.exe file I get this message. This SQL Server Setup media is not supported on a X64 system. To continue, run the SQl Server Setup media that matches your system.
There is only 1 download in the licensing center so I dont know where the other media would be. If I extract the files to another folder and than click the setup.exe file the dos window pops up for a second but it doesn't install.
Anyone know of what I am doing wrong or why I am getting that error message? This is all very new to me, with 2005 I bought a cd and installed from that but this is a new pc and wanted to take advantage of some of the additional features 2008 has. Operating system is windows 7 pro 64 bit.
Thanks in advance,
Sal
