SQL 2008....Install Question

[bobbyforhire]

So i recently had the chance to setup a two node cluster server using SQL 2008. Everthing was fine until my DBA called and told me that he needs to use the 32 bit version for DTS packages. Looking over the CD that i have for the install it reports that it can do 32/64 bit installs. I am using Server 2008 64 bit enterprise.

My question is, how can I install the 32-BIT version of SQL 2008 on a 64-BIT os, i've been looking and i can't seem to find the "switch" to say install the 32-BIT vs the 64-BIT.

launch the 32bit installer specifically. It should be in the x86 folder.

Why the need for the 32bit DTS package?
