i have windows 7 64 bit. I have installed SQL Server 2005 32 bit in it. it installed properly but the native clients says its not proper or compatible to run in x64 mode.My question: Where can i get native client that can be run on 64 bit OR Is SQL Server 2005 there for 64 bit?
Thanks

Try to install 64 bit Native Client. The server will work, but OLEDB tends to behave incorrectly when 32bit version is used on 64bit operating system.

As far as I'm aware, SQL Server 2005 runs fine as a 32-bit app under WOW64.
There is also a 64-bit optimised version available.
