I'm running SQL2000 as well as SQL2005beta, and I have had no problems
installing. Although I haven't used SQL2005b in any projects yet...

Hi Ik,

From the last messages I saw from you that it is not serious what you are
writing, however in Microsoft groups people are often looking what nicks and
what email addresses are used. Names as Ikll@hotmail and even showing that
you do not attended cross posting shows mostly people who cannot be taken
serious.

Therefore, when you want to have your fun, hide your goal better, now you
get probably only answers from newbie's in newsgroups. (You reached probably
a part of your goal getting an answer from me).

Some advices to prevent this:
- Do not show so obvious that you are hiding your identity.
- do not cross post to newsgroups that do not have to do with the
subject.

Do not expect an answer from me on a reaction from you, it will not be.
Just my thought,

Cor

This is a beta after all, and I trust you do not install beta software on a production machine?

There's at least one thread with your scenario at the proper beta newsgroup for SQL Express. You find
information about that group at the same place where you downloaded SQL Express.

I don't have a handy test machine to try to reproduce this, but first
try this, if the only thing that's broken is Enterprise Manager:

1. Open a command window.
2. Navigate to the SQL Server 2000 tools\binn directory, usually
c:\program files\microsoft sql server\80\tools \binn
3. Run REGSVR32 /U SQLMMC.DLL to reregister the snapin.

If that doesn't work, I'll be happy to report the problem to Microsoft
if you post back with some more detail:

Steps to reproduce sound like this, with a few questions:.
1. Install SQL Server 2000
1.5 ???Did you install .NET Framework 2.0 here or before step 1?
1.7 ???Do you know if Enterprise Manager worked at this point?
2. Install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
2.5 ???Do you know if Enterprise Manager worked at this point?
3. Uninstall SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
3.5 ???Did you uninstall .NET Framework 2.0 also?
4. Enterprise Manager doesn't work.

What operating system are you using?
What version/service pack of SQL Server 2000 do you have?

Oh brother, I'll echo Tibor's sentiment. If you install beta software on
production machines, don't cry to the vendor.

Please post to the SQL Server Express newsgroup. What does this have to do
with the .net framework, vb.net, c#, and programming in SQL Server?

You seem to have a problem with playing around with beta software on
machines that you cannot afford to have problems with, as this is the second
set of threads where you have LOUDLY complained about how dumb Microsoft is.
IMO, installing betaware (from anyone) on a production machine is a very
ignorant and/or stupid maneuver.

As we are a group that is horrible at reading readme files, where it tells
you not to install betas on production machines, the first time is
understandable. We pull out our media and get going. IN all fairness to the
manufacturer, we realize it was our mistake and move on. You seem to have a
problem with the idea that you could be at fault one iota.

It is a great service, for me, to have access to products before release. It
helps me stay ahead of the crowd when the final release is out. But, if I
were Microsoft, I would consider stopping the public betas, largely because
of people who complain when a public beta is released.
