I have VSS 2008 on my machine and an SQL Express 2005 installed. I installed SQL Standard and I cannot connect from Management studio but to Express. I looked into the services and I can see only the SQL(SQLEXPRESS) instance running and I don't know how to make the service for my instance running...
I looked in Configuration Tools -> SQL Server Configuration Manager and cannot see my new instance but only the old Express one...
The error I got is:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
Any idea would be much appreciated,
thanks

If viewing SQL Server Configuration Manager you only see the SQLEXPRESS instance name, then the Standard edition you "installed" did not get installed properly or at all. If in the install of the Standard Edition you just clicked through the wizard it probably installed as the default instance. In this case you should see a MSSQLSERVER instance name in Configuration Manager, or you can check in the Window Services applet (@ Run prompt > services.msc).
