I have Sql Server 2005 Express installed on my computer, and I want to install Sql Server 2008 Express as well. What should I consider before doing this additional installation?

thanks. bk

They should be fine together, just make sure they are using different ports (the default is 1433) if they are communicating over TCP/IP. Why do you need both versions?

  • I need both versions since the Sql Server 2008 is so new for me. I was a little bit late to know all about the new features. - Now, I installed both versions. There was an error while installing the Sql Server 2008. I solved it with updating the Visual Studio 2008 to VS 2008 Sp1. Now everything is allright.
