I am having trouble finding the 64 bit version of Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools.

Does any one know where i can download the 64 bit version of Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 and SQL Server 2014.

I have only been able to find the following 32 bit version http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313 but i need the 64 bit version.

As the others have said, there is only a 32 bit version.

The important thing is, if you’re running an x64-based SQL instance (64-bit), make sure to select “New Instance” on the Installation Type page, and NOT “Add features to an existing instance”. Not doing so will cause it to error out.
