It worked fine as you stated to install a new Named Instance. Thx! Still going through the updates, can't wait to check out some of the features in 2008.

Cheers

@Manjinder:

No, on my machine it works fine to run both SQL-Server versions. But keep in mind that there can only be one default instance of SQL Server, the other one will be a named instance.

I am in the process of upgrading to a vista x64 os & want to know if you had any issues with installing sql server 2005 and sql server 2008? Some people are saying you have to uninstall the sql server 2005 workstation components before installing sql server 2008. Did you have any issues with that?
