How can I tell if my SQL server 2005 is 32, 64 or 86 bit?

  • I'm so confused. I'm trying to apply a security update for our SQL server 2005 standard edition and I'm not sure which one to choose as I am not sure which edition we currently have.

    On Microsofts site, it says: SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition (32bit & 64 bit).

    The summary log for the installation is says: Package Platform: x86

    The Server is: 32-bit version of windows.

    Now the choices for the security update are:

    SQLServer2005-KB948109-IA64-ENU.exe

    SQLServer2005-KB948109-x64-ENU.exe

    SQLServer2005-KB948109-x86-ENU.exe

    Which do I choose? How do I know which I already have?

    Please help.

  • Also, would it make more sense to just apply sp3 instead of the security updates for SP2?

  • It is 32-bit x86, so use the x86 version of the service pack.

    Might as well use sp3, unless you have a reason not to.

  • Thank you so much for your response. I will just download the 86 version of SP3. Thanks again!
