SQL Management Studio on Windows 7 64Bit

sqlssmswindows 7

We're scratching our heads a bit here. We have SQL Server 2000 on our internal systems and I have a new machine.

My old windows XP machine had Mgmt Studio (full version). I have tried to run the SQL 2000 installation disks, but they are not 64 bit so I can't install the tool.

I have downloaded the express version on MS website which has installed OK, but this doesn't allow me to run jobs as it's not a full version.

Where can I find an installation for the full version (64bit) ?

[edit] I am now running windows 7 on my new machine which is where I need to install the mgmt studio![/edit]

Sorry, dude...

I have tried to run the SQL 2000 installation disks, but they are not 64 bit so I can't install the tool.

Ever since MS decided to make 64 bit operating systems, they have been able to run 32 bit software. On my windows 8 - 64 bit - the office still is 32 bit.

Your problem is more: you ask a SQL Server 2000 question which is SO end of life... Have you considered hiring an archeologist helping you?

Otherwise just grab your latest Developer version installer and run it.

Btw., why the heck do you tag that with Windows 7 - you seem to run anything except that version.
