Same architecture installation, why, how do I fix?

Question

I am trying to install SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 on my currently installed SQL server.

I get the following error during installation : same architecture installation

The error message does not make sense, these are my specifications

I am using the following exe to install Business Intelligence tools

Answer 1

I had the same error.

In this case, in Installation Type section, you need to choose

• Perform a new instance of SQL Server

instead of the

• Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server

Otherwise, the installation fails with "Same architecture installation".
