SQL 2005 Enterprise edition The image file Setup.exe is valid, but is for a machine type oth

Hi All,

I have enterprise version software CD1 and CD2 of SQL server 2005

when i try to run setup.exe..the following error pops -up

The image file Setup.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine

MY OS version is windows 2003 32bit Operating system...

I am suspecting the binarie may be of 64bit.. How do we check the binaries are 32 bit and 64 bit software

Thanks for your Help

Hi ,

If you r-click on the setup.exe file and selct "Properties" and then the "Version" tab by clicking on the "Platform" you'll get the result as NT INTEL X86 or NT x64

I have similar error to the above when installing SQL2005 Etnerprise Edi 64 bits on the machine in Itanium 2 64 bit. Hence I am unable to install

The Error is as below:

{Pop up window: Internet Explorer Scripts Error}

Line 215

Char:3

Error: The Image file %1 is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine

Code:0

URL: file:...D:/Servers/default.htm

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

{Yes button} { No button}

NOTE: If I click Yes button or No Button, I am unable to proceed with the installation, I have used IE7 and also SP1 in Windows 2003 64 bit.

When I right click the setup.exe file, I can see the platform written as: NT AMD64, and my server is Itanium 2 64 bits. May I know is it the root cause for the error? Will there be vendor specific 64 bits SQL2005 Enterprise Edi?

Please kindly reply to my email: chuahsg@hotmail.com

Thanks
