Lync 2010 When you install Microsoft Lync 2010 communications software, depending on your computer’s operating system you will need to choose between a 32-bit version or a 64-bit version installer. The minimum operating system requirements for Lync 2010 is Window 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3 (SP3). For more information about system requirements, see. Determine the operating system bit count Windows 7 or Windows Vista If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, there are two methods to determine whether you are running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version. If one does not work, try the other. Method 1: View System window in Control Panel. Click Start, type system in the search box, and then click System in the Control Panel list.
The operating system is displayed as follows:. For a 64-bit version operating system: 64-bit Operating System appears for the System type under System. For a 32-bit version operating system: 32-bit Operating System appears for the System type under System.
Method 2: View System Information window. Click Start, type system in the search box, and then click System Information in the Programs list. When System Summary is selected in the navigation pane, the operating system is displayed as follows:. For a 64-bit version operating system: X64-based PC appears for the System Type under Item. For a 32-bit version operating system: X86-based PC appears for the System Type under Item. Windows XP Professional If you have Windows XP, there are two methods to determine whether you are running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version.
If one does not work, try the other. Method 1: View System Properties in Control Panel. Click Start, and then click Run. Type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK. Click the General tab. The operating system is displayed as follows:. For a 64-bit version operating system: Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Version appears under System.
For a 32-bit version operating system: Windows XP Professional Version appears under System. Method 2: View System Information window. Click Start, and then click Run. Type winmsd.exe, and then click OK.
When System Summary is selected in the navigation pane, locate Processor under Item in the details pane. Note the value.
If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with x86, the computer is running a 32-bit version of Windows. If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with ia64 or AMD64, the computer is running a 64-bit version of Windows.
Short answer is: Yes, this configuration is tested and supported. With that said, I've made the following assumptions in my answer:. You are running Windows XP 32-bit on your AMD 64 hardware. You are installing the 32-bit version of SQL Server on your 32-bit OS Without seeing any error message you maybe receiving, I suspect you are trying to install the 64-bit version of SQL Server on your 32-bit OS. This is not supported. When you install 32-bit Windows on 64-bit x64 hardware, for all intents and purposes you're 32-bit. In order to install the 64-bit x64 version of SQL Server 2005 you need to be running a 64-bit x64 version of Windows (though you can install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit OS).
The Evaluation Edition is an Eval of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. When you install Enterprise Edition on a client OS (ie. Windows XP) you will not be able to install the Server components. Server components require a Server OS.
This is the reason you are only given the option of installing 'Tools, Books Online, and Samples'. Fortunately this has nothing to do with your hardware setup, but rather a limitation of the Operating System you have installed.
I believe you can install most Server components from the Developer Edition. Some components such as Service Broker will not install as they require the kernal level HTTP listener, which isn't available in Windows XP, but then again this doesn't help you unless you have access to the Developer Edition. I believe you can download or purchase an Evaulation Edition of Windows Server 2003 which you could install on your system, either as a seperate partitioned install or by installing in a Virtual Client environment, which you should have no problems running given your specific hardware setup.

Regarding your reply, I have the following core setup:.
ABIT AT8 Socket 939 Mobo. AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ (Dual Core). 2GB Corsair RAM. WD 80GB 10K Raptor As for an error message, I'm not getting any error message at all I just am not getting the option to install the server itself, only the client and connectivity tools. Here's a bit of background:.
I've just built this computer. After building hardware, I installed Windows XP Pro SP2 (Volume license, 32-bit).
After the OS install (including all Windows updates) I insert my SQL SVR 2005 eval DVD and I'm only presented with the option to install the 'Tools, Books Online, and samples' or 'The native client install wizard.' After doing both, I don't get the server, I only have client/manager tools. Am I doing something wrong? I don't see an option to try to install a 32 or 64 bit version.
What I think is happening is that the installer is trying to either (A) install the 64 bit version automatically or (B) the eval cannot be installed on a dual core/cpu system. The Evaluation Edition is an Eval of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. When you install Enterprise Edition on a client OS (ie. Windows XP) you will not be able to install the Server components.

There are two folders on the DVD: Servers and Tools. If setup is launched from the Servers folder you can install everything.
If setup is launch from the Tools folder, only Tools, Samples and Books Online can be installed. I just re-read your original post and saw you mentioned you inserted your Eval DVD and was only given the option of installing Tools. I'm not sure what was goign on there, but if you manually launched Setup from the Servers folder on the DVD you should have been able to install everything.
Seems strange though, that you'd be presented with the Tools only install splash screen. I'll have to hunt me up a dual core AMD machine to try this out on.
