| Hey all,How do I install a SQL Server 2005 Express to have no instance?I have a SQL 2005 Server Enterprise which has no instance, just the server name, even when pointing to the DB, you just use the server name and the DB name.I am not any good in SQL, but need to configure SQL Express for a project I am busy with and would like it if I could only have a name, and not an instance. |

| When I do a default install, then SQL Express installs this <SERVERNAME>\SQLEXPRESS, and I need it to only be <SERVERNAME>. |

| If the machine has default instance already, you can only add named instance on it. |
