Installing SQL Desktop Engine

Is there any particular way that Desktop Engine should be installed? I have
both SQLServer 2000 Developer and Desktop Enigine. I was told to install Dev
eloper before Destop. When I did this I got an error message stating "The na
med instance is invalid."
IS Develooper to be installed before or after Desktop? Also, do the server n
eed to be named differently?I have found that with installing multiple SQL Servers to a computer that
explicitly naming each instance, even the first one, works best. That has
even worked for Yukon aside 2000 on machines I've seen. But I've never
installed desktop engine so sorry I don't have that exact piece of info.
