Hi! I am new in this forum and so excited to meet people who live and breath SQL!
Besides being new in this forum, I am new to SQL as well so forgive me if I will ask newbie and "stupid" questions 
Now on to my problem.
I am trying to install an SQL server 2012 developer edition with SP1 X64 to my local machine and received this error
"SQL server media not supported on a X86 system. To continue, run the SQL server setup media that matches your system"
What have I done wrong?
A few more information prior to the installation : - Operating System is Windows 8 on a dual boot MacBook pro - I allocated 81GB space for Windows system. No application installed yet. SQL would be the first - I uncompressed the .iso file to a USB drive and to my hard drive then run setup.exe from both but still had the same problem
I suspect that it is because I am trying to install through a different media other than a DVD disc but I do not have available disc right now so I took my chance. I wasn't successful. What is the work around with this problem?
Has anyone encountered this problem before? I need all the help please because I am aiming to take certification exams and this is my initial step so I can practice and review on my spare time.
All help will be appreciated.
thanks!
