Dear friends,
I need to install sql2012 on my web server. but my webserver (windows2008) have plesk control panel on it. And Plesk uses MSDE (sql2000). I experimented to install sql2012 on a machine which msde installed and only way I could find is to uninstall MSDE, install sql2012 and re-install MSDE. But I cannot do this procedure because web server is in use. Also I really afraid of corrupting plesk panel because I don't have any chance to stop it. I cannot afford to loose my web server nor panel operation for couple of hours.
So, can anybody found a way to install sql2012 as a new instance while MSDE (sql2000) installed on a computer ? I don't want plesk panel to control it (of course it won't as it does not support sql2012). Plesk will continue to use MSDE. sql2012 will be new instance and wont have any connection with plesk.
best regards.

Why do you need SQL 2012 on the webserver?
Have you considered alternatives such as 2008 which would provide you a middle ground to jumping to SQL 2012?

Sure I need it. at he moment I have sql2008r2 side by side with msde. I need to upgrade it. I need to obtain compatibility between web server database, client database and my development environment database. I currently use it as is but at some time in near future I'll have to replace sql2008 with sql2012. you know, especially because of column based partitioning, etc.
