Hello: I installed SQL Server 2005 Standard for a 64-bit server. I did not install it on the C drive. I installed it on a separate drive. I'm curious as to why there are multiple SQL Server 2005 folders. There is one on the C drive. There are, also, two folders on the drive that I installed it on. One of these folders has the phrase "(x86)" in the name. Why all these folders? childofthe1980s |

Even if you try to move the binaries for the install to a different folder, there are tools for SQL Server that will be installed on the C:\ drive. On an x64 box - you have two Program Files folders, one for x64 programs and one for x86 programs. This is needed so that x86 programs will work and can call the 32-bit versions of the dll's.
