[dba-SQLServer]Northwind

I never had a full SQL Server 2000 and it seemed to me that uninstalling an
Evaluation copy didn't remove it completely.  I finally gen'ed a new W2k
Prof, installed VS .NET Prof, and then ran the MSDE Setup to install MSDE 2.
The setup.ini specifies a named instance with name: VSdotNET.  Then I used
the Evaluation cdrom to install ONLY the Client Tools.  I asked the local
gurus if I could somehow convert the named instance to the default.  The
answer was no.  As it is, it doesn't respond to Server=localhost and I'm in
for a lot of connect string editing when I deploy.  I think I've explored
all the wrong ways to do this.  You're invited to email to
j.frederick at att.net or phone (212) 595-2599 if you want a faster cycle time
on this dialog.  We can post the solution in the forum.

how did you install MSDE as an instance w/ Sql Server 2000 already
installed?  I have not been able to do that ever, in fact the install just
quits :S
