How do I install SQL Server Management Studio 2012 64-bit?

I bought a copy of SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition, and no matter what I try, I can't seem to be able to install SQL Server Management Studio 64-bit from the install disc. I've tried installing and uninstalling several times, and only the 32-bit version shows up. Even the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio folder exists, but not the 64-bit executable. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit SP1 with 16 GB of RAM...

Edit: a little further info... sqlservr.exe is running in 64-bit. Just not ssms.exe...

I think this was answered on ServerFault - Mike Christensen
Thanks, Mike. I saw that one initially, but still had hope of a 64-bit edition considering that question was regarding SQL Server 2008. - JimmyC888

There is no such thing. The application itself, like Visual Studio, only ships as a 32-bit application, regardless of the operating system and regardless of the instance(s) you use it with.
