SQL Server is capable of running running multiple instances of different version concurrently. If you remove the Default Instance, make sure that you create another default one. CE is not the same as Express. CE is designed to run in a small footprint on mobile devices etc and is an "in-process", single user database. Express is client/server the same as the rest of the SQL Server family. It's the same as the difference beteen SQLite and MySQL. -- Stuart On 4 Sep 2011 at 17:47, Arthur Fuller wrote: > At the moment I have the first two installed, and I burned a DVD > containing both 32-and 64-bit Denali CTP3.
