instance install issue ~ Edition Change Check ~ help

  • Just trying to add a third instance of sql 20005 to a server, run setup.exe ,the install warning comes up with the following

    "Edition Change Check"

    "To change an existing instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to a different edition of SQL Server 2005, you must run SQL Server 2005 Setup from the command prompt and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter."

     

    Errrr what  ?! I just want to add a 3rd instance but I only get the options to add components to existing 🙁

     

    Deeply , deeply confused
