Problem installing SQL2005 backwards compability plug-in

[barup 0]

I have a win2008r2 server with an SQL2008 server installed.

 

I'm struggling with installing the SQL2005 backwards compability plug-in, I get an "installation of the product failed because it is not supported on this operating system".

 

I'm a bit puzzled because just resently I did the install on another server without any problems.

 

Anybody seen this error before ?

 

 

Kind regards

Lars

Make sure you are downloading the correct installer. Microsoft changed the website. You need to click "Install Instructions" to view the different installer options.

Hi Robin

Indeed, Microsoft has totally rewamped their website, but I did download the sql2005_bc from the new site, and I still get the same error.

 

 

kind regards

You have to download the 64 bit installer, just had the same problem, found the correct installer using google.
