MSDE & SQLV6.5

Looking for support on a simple issue. I want to place an application
using latest version of MSDE onto a server that already has an
application runnign with a full version of SQL V6.5.
What will happen? Will the latest version of MSDE overwrite the V6.5
installation? Ideally I think I would like to have both MSDE SQL2000
and SQL V6.5 co-exist on the server so that my application does not
interfere with the existing application using V6.5; is this possible?
Apologies is this post is short on detail but MSDE is new to me!
Regards,
Tom
Hi,
No problems. Both can co-exists in same server.
While installing the MSDE, give a instance name. This will create a new
named instance of SQL Server MSDE with out interrupting or overwriting the
SQL 6.5.
FYI, both SQL 6.5 and MSDE can run in parallel with out any issues.
Thanks

|||Grateful for the reply. Thanks.
However, does what you are saying apply to all versions of MSDE? We
are trying to install V2000 Rel. A over an existing version of
standard V6.5 eithout any service packs. The install of MSDE will not
complete and rolls back before completing the install. Have you any
ideas?
