Re: SQL 2000 & SQL desktop engine

The desktop engine (MSDE) is really just a slimmed down SQL 2000 meant to run independently on a desktop. So if you did install SQL 2000 successfully, it would make sense that you got that error because you would already have SQL running with an instance named the same as your machine if you selected the default. Basically, you dont need MSDE if you already have SQL 2k.
