Trouble installing MSDE 2000
Hi. I am taking a certification class for which I recieved MSDE 2000 SQL server to use. I had a version that came with my textbook installed, and uninstalled it to use this one. Now I can no longer install either version, when I try it gives me a "instance name specified is not valid" error message when I start the installation, then kills it. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi there,
After you do the uninstall, make sure you go to the mssql folders on your windows explorer and delete all the folders associated with Microsoft SQL Server. You can find this folder under program files. After you do this, install the msde 2000 again.
