Server and Client 
Select this option if you will use this machine as the server or server and workstation. The components necessary for server and client installations are automatically selected and installed. These components include the Microsoft SQL database engine (SQL Express) Database and the SQL Management Studio Express tool. If you need advanced SQL tools, they can be downloaded from the Microsoft website.
This installation must be completed before you perform any client-only installations.
Client 
Select this option if you will use this machine only as a workstation. The components necessary for the client installation are automatically selected and installed. In this case, you should have already installed Denali on at least one other machine that will function as the server. For more information on network installations, see Different Installation Options for Denali.
If you will use this machine as a server as well as a workstation, select the Server and Client radio button.
If you have an instance of SQL server installed that is not named CMSDENALI or you want to install the 32-bit version of Denali on a 64-bit machine, type Alt+A to open the Advanced Settings window.
