2005 64 bit : Client Tools for 32 bit.

We installed 64 bit version of sql server.

Now we need to install the client side 'SQL Server Management Studio'
on 32 bit box.

The 64 bit software does not support for the installation on 32 bit box
... what is the work around for this?

Thanks

You would need to install from 32bit Media. As you've discovered, the installers on the 64bit media won't install onto 32bit machines.

|||All client tools in SQL 2005 can be installed on a 64bit system also however (which is different from SQL 2000, where the client tools were not 64bit compatible), so you can install the 64bit client tools on your 64bit machines. As Jeffrey mentioned above however, you do need the 32bit tools to install on your 32bit machines, which you can get from any of the 32bit edition cd's/builds.
