I am having trouble finding the 64 bit version of Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools.
Does any one know where i can download the 64 bit version of Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 and SQL Server 2014.
I have only been able to find the following 32 bit version http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313 but i need the 64 bit version.
As the others have said, there is only a 32 bit version.
The important thing is, if you’re running an x64-based SQL instance (64-bit), make sure to select “New Instance” on the Installation Type page, and NOT “Add features to an existing instance”. Not doing so will cause it to error out.
Only 32 bit version of SQL Server Data Tools published by Microsoft.
SQL Server comes in x32 and x64 but Visual Studio comes in only x32.
So if you have x64 SQL Server 2014, you can only install SQL Server Data Tools x32 in a new instance configuration. This will install Visual Studio 2013 x32.
However if you have SQL Server 2012, SQL Server Data Tools are available in the installation media (unlike SQL 2014 where it has to be manually downloaded & installed).

I need to install SQL Server 2016 (including Reporting Services, SQL Agent etc) on Windows 7. I know that it's not supported platform so I'm looking for a solution how to make that.
I found out the following two conversations on below topic:
Why can I not install sql server express 2016 on windows 7 professional 64 bit SP1?
https://redmondmag.com/articles/2016/06/01/sql-server-2016-hits-general-availability.aspx?m=1
I have followed the steps from 2nd one:
- Install on W10 VM,
- Copy all Program Files files from W10 to W7
- Copy REG KEY from W10 to W7 (don't know exactly which one)
- Install SSDT tools
- Install SSMS
All in all I have the following view:
Unfortunately when I'm trying to run SQL 2016 services it's not starting up.
Any step by step instruction would be very helpful.
You've answered your own question. SQL 2016 is not supported on Windows 7 or earlier. You have to upgrade to Windows 8.
You cannot install SQL Server 2016 on Windows 7 but you can install SQL Management Studio on Windows 7 to connect to a remote server instance.
SSMS is now supported independent of the SQL installation. As of v16, it is maintained independently and claims backwards compatibility to SQL2008. The latest version is available at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-2017
As of this post, SSMS v17.9.1 worked on my installation of Windows 7 Pro x64 and allowed me to connect to a remote SQL2017 instance.
SSMS version 17.x or later does not support connecting to the legacy SQL Server Integration Services service. To connect to an earlier version of the legacy Integration Services, use the version of SSMS aligned with the version of SQL Server.
I have Visual Studio 2015 Professional Edition installed on my computer and I would like to start developing applications with SQL instead of MS Access.
What exactly do I need to install in order to achieve that? Do I need a full version of SQL Server and SQL Server Management Studio?
Should I just install MySQL instead? I'm a bit lost... Thank you for your time and help.
SQL Server Express Edition (with tools) is free, and perfect for development purposes. If you need more advanced features then you can use SQL Server Developer Edition which is very cheap and has all features included in the advanced versions of SQL Server. The licence does not permit you to run it in a live environment though.
When trying to install SQL Server 2016 Express in Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1 in VMware I get the following message.
What can I do to solve this?
Here is a workaround for users that need SQL 2016 on a Windows 7 development PC. This will allow the developer to develop and manage them by using using MDFs in LocalDB:
If you don't have Visual Studio 2015 then get it or the 2015 Community Edition
Download and install SQL Server Data Tools. SSDT
Note:
When I initially installed Visual Studio 2015 I chose custom install and selected all options. I was assisting someone else troubleshoot their installation so I installed Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition on another Win 7 Computer. I chose custom Install and under Windows and Web Development options I chose Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools. It stated 2012 SQL Server, but after install and restarting I had both the 2014 and 2016 SqlLocalDB (under 120 and 130 folders respectively). SQL Server Data Tools install may not be needed unless you need SSIS, SSAS or SSRS which I do need.
After all of this you will need SQL Server Management Studio 2016 or higher to connect to the local db and access the 2016 functionality.
After you have installed this there should be a SQL Local DB command Line tool installed. My install location was D:\Programfiles\130\Tools\Binn\SqlLocalDB.exe
The default install location as pointed out by Discosultan may be:
D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\Tools\Binn\SqlLocalDB.exe
My install path was different, but that may be due to the several versions and related components of SQL server that I have installed on the PC and the manner of my installs. Once you have done the install you can search for SqlLocalDB.exe if you have multiple versions and navigate to the 2016 version, (product version 13 in the 130 subfolder).
You can find the install folder path in the registry for SQL 2016 by reviewing the following Registry Entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (Abbreviated to HKLM below):
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Local DB\Installed Versions\13.0
You can run the command line from there or add the directory to the path statement. I have multiple versions so I just go to the directory. Then you create a localDB instance and start it:
SqlLocalDB create "LocalDBExample2016" -s
SqlLocalDB Utility Command Line Reference
From that point if you prefer the GUI you can open SQL server Management Studio 2016 or through Visual Studio and connect to server:
(localdb)\LocalDBExample2016
From there you can add databases, etc.
The mdf and log files will default to C:\Users\[UserName], but they can be moved when creating the databases or copied elsewhere and given to the DBAs, etc. Some of the features won't be available like in memory OLTP tables. Here are the edition comparisons: Editions and Supported Features for SQL Server 2016
As the error message states SQL Server 2016 is not supported in Windows 7. You will have to upgrade to Windows 8 or higher or switch to a Windows Server operating system. Here is a list of all the operating systems (and other hardware and software requirements) in which SQL Server 2016 can be installed.
Late to the party, but while you can't install SQL 2017 Express or 2016 Express on Windows 7, you can install SQL 2014 Express. This may not work for compatibility purposes if you're dealing with a newer version of SQL (although I've been able to install the non-express version of SQL 2016 and 2017 to Windows 7) but if you're supporting something that uses an older version of SQL Express (which, frankly, is likely if you don't have access to a newer OS) this should work well enough.
I am trying to install SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 on my currently installed SQL server.
I get the following error during installation : same architecture installation
The error message does not make sense, these are my specifications
I am using the following exe to install Business Intelligence tools
I had the same error.
In this case, in Installation Type section, you need to choose
Perform a new instance of SQL Server
instead of the
Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server
Otherwise, the installation fails with "Same architecture installation".
In all likely hood you have a 64-bit SQL Server application installed on your box. You can check the CPU architecture type of your SQL Server installation by firing following query:
select ##VERSION
On my machine which has a SQL Server 2008 installation returns below string:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) - 10.50.4000.0 (X64) Jun 28 2012 08:36:30 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
Here the initial part of the query output Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) - 10.50.4000.0 (X64) suggests that my SQL Server installation is a 64 bit application. To make an upgrade or adding new feature I'll always have to run 64-bit installer.
You are trying to run x86 (aka 32-bit) CPU architecture installer to add new features.
Though you are not at fault. This link details the trail of events as to why Microsoft never released x64 CPU architecture installer for this specific case of SQL Server Data tool - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012. The available setup is only 32-bit as Visual Studio 2012 (Shell) is 32-bit only.
Quoting from the link I've mentioned above:
Make sure you choose the "New Instance" option (strange as that might
seem). Otherwise, you'll get an error that says the following: Rule
"Same architecture installation" failed.
This will effectively create a new 32-bit named instance on your computer and install all the desired features and data tools on top of it.
Update: I've faced the same issue even while installing SQL Server Management Studio 2014 on top of an existing SQL Server 2014 (x64) Instance. In fact, in this case I faced the issue even when I was running 64-bit installer of SSMS 2014. Solution remains same to go past the error.
I'm facing kinda weird problems. I installed windows 8 pro 64 bit then installed Visual Studio 2010, both working well. But the problem is in SQL server 2008 and SQL server 2012 installation. Both gives different kind of errors; sometime it says that version not matching. Then finally, I installed 2012. Had no login or windows authentication. I don't know why it never happened to me. Please suggest a correct link for installing SQL server on windows 8 64bit so I can use MANAGEMENT studio etc..
I had a similar problem when installing SQL Server Express on Windows 8.1 pro. Just right click the installation executable (even if it's on a DVD, find the setup.exe or similar), go to Properties, Compatibility tab and use the compatibility for an older version of windows, like Windows 7.
Another option is to download the latest package from Microsoft. I was able to install the SQL Server 2008 SP3 without compatibility settings. You could try SQL Server SP1 as well (I haven't tested this without compatibility settings).
here you go
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562
in there there's information about installing the old sql server apps on newer windows version. The minimum version for windows 8 is SQL Server 2008 SP3.
