Installing Visual Web Dev. 2005 Express: Must uninstall ANY previous versions of SQL Server

Hello,
According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vwd/download/, I have to uninstall any and all versions of SQL before I attempt to install the VWD 2005 express edition. is there a work around this? I currently have SQL 2000 installed for my work; a must have for me, I can't just uninstall it.
(yes I left a similar question in the Visual forums, but haven't received any replies as of yet..just fishing for an answer here)
thanks so much, looking forward to giving VWD a test drive.

That warning was intended to have users remove any and all previous Betas of SQL Server 2005 prior to installing VWD Express.

It's okay to have MSDE or SQL 2000 on your box, or even to have SQL Server 2005 on your box. But if you have any of the SQL Server 2005 Betas or CTP installs, please remove them first.

Installing SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services

Dear All,

I've installed SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express on my computer from

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql

Now, I would like to get SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and Business Intelligence Developer Studio.

Can I go ahead and install "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services" provided on the above link?

My question is, "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services" comes with SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express that I already have on my computer. When I install "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services" , does it impact SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express that I already have on my computer?

Do I have to uninstall Server 2005 Management Studio Express and

then...install "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services" ?

Please suggest. Thank you

You are in the wrong forum. Please head over to the SQL Server Reporting Services forum for more assistance.|||This thread started in SSIS forum...moved to SSRS.|||You should be able to install "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP1" and "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit SP1" right over the top of whatever you got with VS Express. I'm pretty sure the setup programs will just skip over Management Studio Express if it's already on the box.sql
