Hello all,

Has anybody tried to install separate instances of SQL 2005 and SQL 2008?

Is this even possible? Any info would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it is possible.
Install them as two separate instances.

The only issue you may have is the default port. (1433). It will need to be different for each instance.

Unless you bind each instance to its own ip address.
