Bertram writes "Hello,

Does the MS SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine run on Windows 2000 Server?


I wanted to install the Desktop Engine in parallel to MS SQL Server 7 and get the following error message "Der angegebene Instanzname ist nicht bekannt".

For Your help many thanks in advance.

Bertram Weber"

Hi Bertram

I think the question here is "why would you want to do this ?"

If you already have a SQL Server on that machine, why not just put your data on that ?

My Germnan's a little rusty, but it could be that MSDE won't allow you to do named instances (I'm not sure), which is the only way you can have 7.0 and 2000 (any flavor) running on the same machine.
