reinstalling 2000 & 2005 side by side

[steve1rm]

Hello,

I have a version of 2000 already installed which I still need. However, I recently installed 2005, something did not install right, so I was forced to de-install it. However, when I go to sql configuration manager, my named instances in 2005 are still there.

Is there anyway to do a complete de-install of 2005? Maybe a step by step on what to take of first?

Just another question, how can you install 2005 so that it will run side by side with 2000 without any conflicts.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

I have 2000 and 2005 installed on 3 different machines running side by side without any issues. As long as you name them something unique there shouldn't be any problems.

Pardon my ignorance but what is "de-install"? uninstall? or reinstall?

what version did you install? standard, express etc...

if it is express 2005 I have never done an uninstall but found these instructions that may help

did you download and install utilities like the studio management speeately or was this a full installation in one run

Thanks for your post onpnt,

Sql sever 2005 developer edition includes studio management.

It was a full installation in one run.

Thanks for you help,

Steve
