Hello, I have sql server 2000 running on WIN2000 Professional. I'm trying to install MSDE 2000 but it gives me the error "Instance name specified is invalid". Any suggestion? Thanks!!

If you already have SQL Server running you'll have to install MSDE with a different instance name. You do this by running

setup.exe INSTANCENAME=theNameYouWant
