Re: XPe Toolset with SQL Express

I know that when you install a second instance of SQL on the machine it will have a new instance name.

However, i don't know if you can install a second instance of SQL 2005 Express if it detects another but you could try installing a second instance. Otherwise i think you might have to uninstall and then re-install.

Sorry, i hope the first method works for you.

Andy,

Well, I already installed SQL 2005 Express. Is it possible to change the
instance name after installation? I didn't see any obvious way to do it.

Thanks for your help.

Any suggestions?
