Hi,
I have successfully installed 2005, a couple of years ago on my computer. Now I am trying to install 2008 express, and though I get no errors, I am not seeing it any where. I mean I have 2008 R2 in the start menu but there is nothing there to bring up SQL Server. I tried to install 2010 express and that did not go either. My SQL server 2005 is still there but I cannot get beyond that. Any ideas on what I can do, or am not doing please let me know.
Also, I should mention that I am running Windows Vista 64bit.
Thank you
