| Hello,I want to install a side by side instance of SQL 2008. We currently have a server 2005 instance but want to port our database over to 2008 and figure out if the "upgrade" is worth it. When I go to install it has an issue with shared features. Is the best way to deal with this to do an upgrade with only shared features on the 2005 and then install the 2008 stand alone after that? I am sort of apprehensive about the shared features as I am not confidant will be easy to roll back if we decide not to use 2008. Thanks,George |

| install a fresh instance and restore your db and you can always uninstall the old one. |
