Can't install SQL Server Express 2008 R2 with SQL 2005 Developer Edition

    My coworker is trying to install SQL Server Express 2008 R2 onto her PC. She's already got SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. When she tries to install SQL Server Express 2008 R2, it either complains about the named instance already being in use (we're choosing default instance), or it complains about an instance ID conflict.

    What are we doing wrong?

    Never mind. It was my fault. My instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 Express is a named instance. I thought it wasn't. Oh well, excuse me while I pull my foot out of my mouth.
