Install issue sql server 2005

  • When I installed the version of SQL Server 2005 that came with Visual Studio 2005 it picked up the instance (named the same as the server) of SQL server 2000 that was already there as the default instance.

    Therefore when I open SQL server and connect the only available registered server is the old V8 (2000) one.

    Can I upgrade this instance to 2005? If so how? If not, How can I remove this instance and create a new one that is V9?

    Thnks and regards

    Ray

  • Ray,

    what exactly do you mean with öpen SQL Server"? Which tool you are using? If it's Enterprise Manger, then you can't register a 2005 instance. If your using SQLServer Management Studio you need to open the "Registered Servers" window and then register the instance.

    Hope this helps
