I am looking to install this on a 64 bit system in order to test SQL queries against an ODBC source. The current links are Microsoft are too new. Does anyone know where I can download it from?
SQLCMD should come with Management Studio http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7593 However there's no reason why you couldn't use a newer version of SQLCMD to connect to an older database.
For SQL Server 2008 R2, you want to download the files from what is called the Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 R2 Feature Pack. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16978
From there, you are going to need 2 programs
"Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 R2 Native Client" X64 Package (sqlncli.msi) and "Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 R2 Command Line Utilities" X64 Package (SqlCmdLnUtils.msi) in either 32 bit or 64 bit form depending on where you are installing it. Most servers are 64 bit so if doubt, choose that version first.
Install the native client first and command line utilities second.

I have windows service developed by VS.Net 2012 , Windows 7 32 bit and installshield 2012 LE for setup.
In the development machine everything going well ,installation completed and service working fine .
When upload it to the server (windows server 2008 R2 SP1 64bit) during the installation , installation stopped and rolled back because of error 1001 .
Advise Please
You're in a rough spot. Error 1001 comes from an InstallerClass, which uses a very fragile technology. The error 1001 has many different possible sources, ranging from an unhandled exception to what feels like the phase of the moon. However InstallShield LE doesn't really support installing services any other way.
The best advice I can offer is to use Windows Installer support for installing services. But in order to do that you will have to use a different installation creator. If you want to stick with InstallShield, the Professional edition has a view in which you can configure the Windows Installer support for services.
You can use Windows Installer XML (WiX) to author a merge module that installs a windows service and then consume that merge module in a InstallShield LE project. See:
Augmenting InstallShield using Windows Installer XML - Windows Services
Installshield LE 2012 doesn't support 64bit.
There is a new beta available of Installshield LE that is supposed to add this feature: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2013/08/15/what-s-new-in-visual-studio-2013-and-installshield-limited-edition.aspx
It's also supposed to support the proper Windows Installer for installing services now, even in the LE (via "3 Configure the Target System" -> Services"). However I've not been able to get that bit working yet - maybe there's some magic setting I've missed.
You could try using this version - let me know if you have any luck getting it working via the proper windows installer services!
How can I check what version of Windows Imaging Component is installed on a Windows machine? I suspect the Windows 2008 Servers used in Azure do not have the same version that I have on my Windows 7 development machine. I just want to verify that as I need the latest TIFF codec.
Will not make a definite statement, but I think that the WIC on the Windows Azure is the same what you have on your Windows 7. Just be aware that there are 2 OS families in Windows Azure. OS Family 1.x is using Windows Server 2008 SP1 as base, while OS Family 2 is using Windows Server 2008 R2 as base.
From what I read about WIC, I see it is part of Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2, so, if you target your application for OS Family 2, you shall nothave issues. Unless there is some update, or more recent version which has installer. If there is an installer, you can simply use a startup task to install the exact version you need.
UPDATE
Refering this post confirms that Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2 come with WIC. While a platform update is required for Windows Vist / Windows Server 2008 (you must install Server 2008 SP2 before the update is available). So, if you target OS Family 2.x (recommended anyway) you get the same WIC you get in your Windows 7 machine.
Possible or not?
I know Sharepoint 2010 Server won't even run on a client side of Vista/Windows 7 64-bit, forget about Windows XP 32-bit.
But if I can install and use Visual Studio 2010 on Windows XP just fine, shouldn't Sharepoint development tools also work on Windows XP 32-bit?
The thing is I have a very old laptop (from 2005) that doesn't even support 64-bit architecture so I am stuck with WinXP 32bit.
If there is any way at all of (Remote?) Sharepoint development on Windows XP 32-bit with VS2010 please let me know.
Most of what the developer tools offer you make two assumptions:
You are running on a 64-bit architecture
SharePoint is installed side-by-side with Visual Studio
Running on a 32-bit XP machine breaks these assumptions. Many of the built-in Visual Studio productivity aids, such as the deploy and retract commands, will fail. I couldn't even create a project using the SharePoint 2010 project template under similar conditions.
You might make some headway by using regular class library or web application projects, copying SharePoint .dll's from a server's GAC (for use as references) and by manually creating your .ddl and .wsp files using MakeCab (as I did with 2007, with a little help from PowerShell); however, it sounds excruciating compared to running on Vista SP2 X64 or Windows 7 X64 with SharePoint installed.
As per the above answer, VS 2010 SharePoint projects require a local installation of SharePoint. You can use external tools for doing your development, such as WSPBuilder, but I do not recommend this approach. You are best sticking to the MS tools.
Your options are:
Upgrade to Windows 7 x64 or Server 2008 R2
Run VMWare Server (free) which should enable you to run a 64-bit VM on a 32-bit host (I think? Not sure about this assumption actually), and create a VM with Win7 x64 or Win 2008 R2 for SP development.
You can use Win7 64bit as your dev environment

When install SQL Server 2000 (Evaluation copy) on Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium desktop computer,
system gives the following error and Installation not successful:
InstallShield Engine has stopped
working A problem caused the program
to stop working correctly. Windows
will close the program and notify you
if a solution is available.
Sql server 2000 is not supported on Windows 7. You might be able to get it installed but you would have problems.
According to this blog posting you even need SP3 of Sql Server 2005 for it to work on Win7.

Currently I have a set of web applications that need to be installed (using IIS). They can only run in 32-bit mode so requires IIS to be set to run 32-bit apps. The steps that we've taken to do this work for server 2003 64-bit, and 2008 64-bit, but does not work on server 2008 R2 64-bit. I've spent many hours on this and I'm stumped.
The following are the steps performed to get the web apps installed:
1. Set "enable32BitAppOnWin64" app to true
2. Uninstall old ASP.NET stuff using 32-bit version of aspnet_regiis.exe: "aspnet_regiis -ua"
3. Install ASP.NET stuff using 32-bit version of aspnet_regiis.exe: "aspnet_regiis -i -enable"
As mentioned before, the above works fine on server 2003 64-bit and server 2008 64-bit, just not server 2008 R2 64-bit. Steps 2 and 3 give me the error: "Operation failed with 0x8007000B. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format". After some searching, this is something to do with me running 32-bit application (aspnet_regiis) with IIS which is a 64-bit app. Step one has worked, as the flag has been set in the IIS GUI.
Would really appreciate it if someone could tell me where I'm going wrong, and why this doesn't work for 2008 R2.
Thanks
I know its a late post, but what I ended up having to do was run aspnet_regiis on the Framework64 folder and selecting the "Enable 32-bit Applications" on the application pool I was using and my sites came up.
In Vista and higher OS's ASP.NET is part of the OS and needs to be installed. You can install ASP.NET from the add windows features under Web Server.
The v4.0 version should work fine from both 32 and 64 bit folders.
Check for your Windows version.
If its a Windows 32 bit try running 'aspnet_regiis -i' from
C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.52707 folder
Or If its a 64 bit run it from
C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework64\v2.0.52707 folder
