I've come across this page http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062 and I am a bit confused about the different versions here.
So I would like to know what is the difference between
SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exeSQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exeSQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe

SQL Express is free, but requires a bit more RAM to perform well. SQL Standard has a licence costs but Your Office Anywhere are able to significantly reduce the licence burden for customers by using data centre licences and running multiple secure instances of SQL on multi-tenanted servers.
Express core: It installs the SQL Server database engine only. Express advanced: If you require additional SSRS and full-text service, choose the advanced option. LocalDB: The LocalDB is a lightweight express edition that includes programmability features and can run in user mode.
Express edition limitations Microsoft SQL Server Express has a 10 GB maximum database size and other important limits. High load scenarios are not supported by Express. Symptoms can include database connection errors. Express has a "LocalDB" preset.
29.6 MB. 964.4 MB. + More - Less. Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express with SP3 is a free, feature-rich edition of SQL Server that is ideal for learning, developing, powering desktop, web & small server applications, and for redistribution by ISVs.
Scroll down on that page and you'll see:
Express with Tools (with LocalDB) Includes the database engine and SQL Server Management Studio Express)
This package contains everything needed to install and configure SQL Server as a database server. Choose either LocalDB or Express depending on your needs above.
That's the SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe download.... (WT = with tools)
Express with Advanced Services (contains the database engine, Express Tools, Reporting Services, and Full Text Search)
This package contains all the components of SQL Express. This is a larger download than “with Tools,” as it also includes both Full Text Search and Reporting Services.
That's the SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe download ... (ADV = Advanced Services)
The SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe file is just the database engine - no tools, no Reporting Services, no fulltext-search - just barebones engine.
