64 bit Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools
Solution 1:
As the others have said, there is only a 32 bit version.
The important thing is, if you’re running an x64-based SQL instance (64-bit), make sure to select “New Instance” on the Installation Type page, and NOT “Add features to an existing instance”. Not doing so will cause it to error out.
Solution 2:
Only 32 bit version of SQL Server Data Tools published by Microsoft.
Solution 3:
SQL Server comes in x32 and x64 but Visual Studio comes in only x32.
So if you have x64 SQL Server 2014
, you can only install SQL Server Data Tools x32
in a new instance configuration. This will install Visual Studio 2013 x32
.
However if you have SQL Server 2012
, SQL Server Data Tools
are available in the installation media (unlike SQL 2014 where it has to be manually downloaded & installed).
