Installing Client Tools

I recently installed an evaluation copy of SQL Server (Enterprise x64 edition). What's the proper way to load the management and analytical tools onto client machines? There are 2 separate problems:

1. The 64 bit program only comes with 64 bit tools. (Should I just download the 32 bit evaluation copy? Will the tools expire in 180 days on all the client machines?)

2. What are the licensing rules? Surely I am allowed to load client tools (but not the server itself) onto client devices. Is that right?

Thanks!Evaulation edition expiration only applicable to server components whereby you cannot use the server services, but for client tools I haven't seen such problem you can use them to connect to other SQL server instances.|||That's very helpful - thank you.

It would also be nice to know what the licensing rules actually are & what the best practice is supposed to be.|||Refer to this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257716 page that clears about licensing policy on client tools, though it is for SQL 2000 all the information is still applicable to SQL 2005 in this case. I would also ask you to refer to the local Microsoft support for more information on licensing, as x64 is bit new in recent times.

Installation of SQL Server 2000 Evaluation Edition

Help?
Whenever I try to install this edition on an XP operating
system. It states that there already an instance of sql
running. Also, I checked for known virues and worms, no
of which I have. However, I did see something regarding
the w32.slammer worm, which I couldn't install because
you first have to have sql server 2000 on your system. I
really need to get this software installed. Does anyone
know what I can do?

Installation error in SQL Server Evaluation Edition

I downloaded the SQL Server Evaluation Edition from Microsoft.com in ISO form and burned a CD using Nero 7. I have tried to install the program, but I keep getting the error:

"the procedure entry point_create_locale could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCR80.dll"

I have tried to reinstall Native Client and Setup Support Files with no effect... I have .NET 2.0 installed along with VB Express 2005 and VWB Express 2005... I am running on Windows XP Home SP2.

If anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it... I am stuck and can't get any work done until I get this program installed...

You need to look at the setup logs for context. They're located here:

%Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG

If you can find where the error occurs you may see more info on what's going on and that should help figure out what to do next. If you can't figure it out, post a link to the log files here and someone will take a look.
