Hi,
Is there any version of SQL Server Express 2008, which could be run on all computers
(32bit & 64 bit)?
I have a version of SQL Server Express 2005 X86, it works very well on both platforms but when I tried SQL 2008 X86, and ran it on 64bit system, it failed.

Please guide.
Thanks

Yes, you can run the 32 bit version on a 64 bit OS, as a simple google would have shown you: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=sql+server+2008+32+bit+on+64+bit+os&oq=sql+2008+32+bit+on+64&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.11253j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8[^]
However, it isn't recommended.
