Hi,
At present on my 64 bit laptop, I have the sql server 2005 enterprise manager with databases. I also have sql server 2005 express as an instance in the enterprise manager of sql server 2005.
version is:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1406.00 (X64)
Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)

Now I would like to install sql server 2008 express.
Can I do this as a separate enterprise manager or does the existing sql 2005 have to be upgraded?

Thank you
