Install

Need some help.
Install says my instance is invalid.
What does this mean? I also installed sql2kdesksp3.exe
Hi,
I think there is a instance conflicts. THis occurs if an instance of SQL
Server is already
installed on the target machine. To overcome this issue, you have to specify
the Instance name while running the setup.
Setup.exe INSTANCENAME=<name> SAPWD=<sapassword > /l*v c:\log.txt
Create a verbose log usinfg /l*v so that you can determine if installation
was successful or not.
Thanks
Hari
