Ok... on both SP3 and SP4 we could install sqlncli.msi (sqlncli_x64.msi was not present on none). But the files SQLSERVR.EXE and SQLOS.DLL files were not found.
However we did find the SQLOS.DLL (link http://opendll.net/index.php?file-download=sqlos.dll&arch=64bit&version=2007.100.1600.22&dsc=SQLOS-Hosting-DLL) but haven't been able to find SQLSERVR.EXE.
Please advice.

We'll proceed close the question since no answer and award accordingly.

Unfortunately there was no more support to clear our question but it seems that the sql2005 is not supported should be awarded.
Thankyou anyways.

So I have to download SP3 or SP4 64bit version of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition?
