    Hi,

    Is it OK to install SQL Server 2005 final on the same machine having SQL Server 2000, and keep both SQL servers separate?

    Our current production environment is VS.NET 2003 and SQL Server 2000. I would like to install SS2005 to play around. Would that impact previous dev tools?

    Thanks in advance.

    I have had 2000 and 2005 on the same machine and no issues.

    But in your case looks like you want to put 2005 on a prod 2000 machine? I wouldnt play arond on a prod box!!

    Sorry I was not clear enough. I meant the local SQL Server on my laptop. Based on your answer, I can then go ahead.

    Be sure that you install SQL Server 2000 first and then SQL Server 2005. Installing SQL2K after SQL2K5 will present some problems with COM registration and uninstall.
