SQL Server 2005 Installation Files

I have a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition licence, but I only have the x86 installation media. Does anyone know where I can get hold of the x64 setup files?

Do you have any MSDN, Technet or MS Volume Licence Agreement?

No, unfortunately I don’t.

You could just torrent it. Provided you use your own legit license key, torrenting the install media isn't really that morally dubious.

Arguably not as morally foul as charging £50 for a media pack which has the disks in, as some resellers do.

I've got the setup files now, a supplier sent me them to me.
