Hello...

Does anyone know if it is possible for me to install SQL 2000 on a server that someone already installed SQL 2005 (the april CTP).

thanks

Yes, it works. I've done it.

Now I know, and knowing is half the battle!

Generally speaking, Beta 2 and later releases work and play well together on the same server. HOWEVER, DO NOT install SQL2005 side-by-side on any production or otherwise important server that must continue operating and/or cannot be re-installed, in case something goes wrong.

Thanks for the additional advice. Fortunately, this is a test server.
