Install of SQL Server 2000 dev edition over MSDE. Any advice appreciated.

It's arriving from ebuyer tomorrow for 32 quid. I already have an
instance of MSDE running on the laptop and ideally i would like SQL
server to be installed and use the current instance and not install
any other additional services. [hope i got my terminology correct
here.] Basically all i would like is to use the Enterprise Manager
with my existing MSDE database. I was wondering if there is anything i
should be doing before I install. Should i shut down the service or
leave it running for instance.

Thanks for any tips,

You could install only the client tools, if that's all you want (don't
forget to install SP3a as well). Or you can install Developer Edition
anyway, as a named instance - you don't have to start it if you don't need
it.

I'm going to let the setup experts handle this one - moving to the setup forum.
