Hi Dave,
Thanks for the insight. The only projects I really have on this machine that
use SQL server are some Visual Studio applications and several ASP.NET
sites. They all are using my SQL Express server now. I can redo the
connection strings but would preffer not to if Express and the full version
are compatible on the same machine.
Doug

Doug: Coincidentally I just upgraded my management studio from 2000 to 2008
yesterday. I had sqlprompt (from Redgate) installed, and that caused the
install to bonk. There is a patch they've issued to allow the install to
proceed although I hacked around it by renaming a registry key temporarily.
Details on that via google.
But more importantly, I found after the upgrade that some ssis packages
broke. Thankfully they were still in dev stage. I don't remember all the
things that went wrong, but some of them were relative paths in script tasks
no longer worked (had to change to absolute paths), and some db connections
just plain broke. hth. d lewis

If you just need the Management Studio, you can install that by itself,
without installing an instance of SQL Server 2005. I've done that with
Management Studio 2008. As I recall, you start the installation and just
select the Client Tools and make sure to deselect everything else. I also
have the Developer and Express editions on my desktop and they run together
without any problems. You just need to install the second version as a named
instance. Although I usually shut down the one I'm not using to save memory.

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Installing SQL Server 2005 developer on a machine
with SQL Server 2005 express edition
Folks,
I am looking at installing SQL Server 2005 developer edition on my
development system? The computer currently has Visual Studio 2008 and SQL
Server 2005 express edition on it. As things stand now Visual Studio uses
the Express edition for projects and web sites. I don't want to screw up my
current projects. I would like to have access to the Full version of
Management Studio to work on some remote servers.
What is the consensus of the SQL Server gurus on the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Doug
