This may sound like a non-question, but I have a 64-bit Windows 8.1 computer with Visual Studio 2010 Premium x86 installed.
VS installed SQL Server 2008, but I want to install SQL Management Studio Express 2008 as well.
After reading about a compatibility issue, I installed Service Pack3, SQLServer2008SP3-KB2546951-x64-ENU.
When I went to the download page for SSMS, I find there are 2-flavors available, x86 and x64.
Which should I install and if I choose the x64 version for my 64-bit Windows, will it work with my Visual Studio x86 install?
As just an FYI as to why I have the x86 Visual Studio; I previously had it along with SSMS Express 2008 installed on a 32-bit Windows-XP system , which crashed and after purchasing a new system with Windows 8.1, I wanted to install the Visual Studio
and SSMS again.
Thank you
