AdventureWorks2008R2 - The installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor.

Question

I was just trying to install the AdventureWorks Sample on Windows XP Pro Version 2002 SP 3 which runs on my Intel Core 2 Quad CPU...

But I get the above error message... Is this not a goer?

Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

Please ensure that you are installing the correct version i.e. 32bit or 64bit

Answer 2

Thanks Jeff - I read the name of that file SQL2008R2.All_Product_Samples_Without_DBs.x64 - as everything without the files for the 64 bit processor :)

Stupid name for a file if you ask me
