Hi

I'm struggling to install the above mentioned edition. When i get to the
screen where i must specify the SQL Server database instance there are 2
options in the dialogue box "<myservername> and
<myservername\microsoft##SSEE>. If i choose my servername and click next the
curser changes to a hour glass for about 2 seconds and change back and it
stay on that screen. The same happen if i choose the second option namely
<myservername\microsoft##SSEE>. What is wrong?

Should i create a database before i install MOM or not?

Hello,


I do not know about MOM. But I'm kinda sure that it will install\setup its
own database in your SQL Server instance as soon as it is able to connect to
SQL Server.

But first, you should determine your instance path. Is it a "default
instance" or "named instance"?

A default instance basically <your_computer_name>

A named instance is <your_computer_name>\<some_name> (you determine this
while setting up SQL Server)

You may see how many instances you have installed on your server from
Start\Programs\Microsoft SQL Server 2005\Configuration Tools\SQL Server
Configuration Manager.

Be sure that all instances' services that you want to work with must be in
"Running" state. Especially ones "SQL Server (some_instance_name)"

If services of your SQL Server is not running at the moment, then you can
not reach it. For example as you said "i see an hour glass..." and it doesnt
connect.
