Hi,

How in MS SQL 2005 create a new instance, without reinstalling MS SQL 2005 ?

for example i have the default instance SQLEXPRESS and now, for 1
software need, i must create a new instance called "magiceye", how can i
do that ?

before under MS SQL 2000, we used configuration tools for that but i did
not find such possibility under MS SQL 2005.

thx for help.

Al.

Run the setup program again and specify the instance name you want to install.

This is what i did, but under MS SQL 2000, there was another way.
So i would like to know if something else exist under SQL 2005.

No, 2000 work the same way as 2005. Run setup to install a new instance. There was no such config
tool to create a new instance.
