Can I install a second SQL Server instance on the same location as the first instance?

Hi guys,

Can I install a different edition of a SQL Server instance? I mean, let's say I already installed standard edition of SQL Server 2005 on my Windows XP SP3 machine, then I want to install another instance and use SQL Server 2005 developer edition installation file. Can that cause some problem?

Great thanks.

A: 

This should be no problem, you'll just have to use a different instance.

Many people often have Express and some other version installed. Express is installed with VS20XX and most developers really want SQL Developer edition. So if they don't pay attention when installing VS, they'll have 2 versions installed as well.

you can also have multiple instances of the same version with different service packs
