Problem installing SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition

Hi,

I have a problem installing SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.

When I start the setup, I get the message:

"SQL Server Setup could not run. Another instance of SQL Server Setup is already running. The running instance must complete before you can run SQL Server Setup again"

I am using Windows XP and have SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server Express 2005 installed.

I shut down both instances before I attempted to do the install but I still get the message.

I checked active tasks but no tasks with SQL* is running.

Please advise.

Thanks

Have you rebooted the computer?|||

Hi,

Yes I did, but when I reboot the services start automatically and then I stop them manually and then attemp the setup - But the same message displays.

Thanks.
