RE: Installing VS2005 and SQL Server Express as the default instance



Hi,

I am afraid the VS2005's SQL Server Express edition is unable to be
installed as a default SQL server instance.(It even could not be done via
the VS2005's UI setup program)

By the way, we don't recommend to install a SQL Server Express edition as a
machine's default SQL server instance.


Thanks for your understanding!

Best regards,

Gary Chang
