SQL Server not compatible with .net Framework x64?

Hi. I'm trying to install SQL Server Express in a Windows XP x64 Pro. I got a message that tells me to uninstall .net Framework and all SQL components and reinstall .net Framework but I don't know where the cleanup wizard is at and because I've got Express, I didn't get it in a CD.

So is it true that SQL Server Express is only compatible with .net Framework x86 which is not compatible with WinXP x64?

Hi,

The Product feature comparison page shows that SQL Server runs on a x64 Windows OS using WOW layer. So it should work although it will still run as a 32-bit app. I think the final version of SQL Express would work - the Beta/CTP release does not support running on 64-bit yet.
