Running Windows Installer 4.5 in 64-bit Windows XP
I am trying to install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 on my 64-bit Windows XP operating system. Unfortunately, I need Windows Installer 4.5 to do this, and Windows Installer doesn't seem to run on 64-bit Windows XP. Is there a way around this?

It is actually supported on Windows XP 64-bit.
Windows XP 64-bit is Windows Server 2003 in disguise (but they often forget to mention Windows XP 64-bit - for instance, PowerShell 2.0 can actually be installed on Windows XP 64-bit). Thus locate "WindowsServer2003-KB942288-v4-x64.exe" (direct download URL), download and install.
