| When you install SQL Server - you have the option to install a default instance or a named instance. If you want to add a new named instance - you simply need to install SQL Server again and choose to install a named instance.Jack Vamvas--------------------Search IT jobs from multiple sources- http://www.ITjobfeed.com |

| I found the problem. When the infrastructure guys copied DISK1 and DISK2 down to the Server, they unzipped them into the same installation folder. I think some of the files got overwritten and I was using the wrong setup.exe. Luckily, they left the unzipped disk files on the harddrive. I unzipped them into their own folders and ran setup for disk1!!! |
