Question : Just installed SQL Server 2005, but no instance appears

Hello - I had SS 2000 installed on my laptop, and I just installed 2005, but no new folder/instance appears under Program Files\MS SQL Server. In the past, it made another folder

The only problem with the installation was a warning message that IIS was not installed (which it wasn't), and so IIS-related features would not be available; install IIS, then re-run setup (which I did). But still no new instance.

I was able to connect to the 2000 instance with Management Studio

Can anybody set me straight on this?

Thanks

Answer : Just installed SQL Server 2005, but no instance appears

you installed by chance only the client tools?
