Taco,
It is very possible, the only thing that you need to remember is when you run the setup that the instance name can't be the same as a previous one, if you want to keep it. That step is one of the last in the setup process, I think by default it is set to mysql so you need to change it to mySQL537 or something meaningful.

When running the setup.exe it actually says it will remove the other instance, which is not what I want. any help would be much appreciated. -- Taco Fleur - http://www.pacificfox.com.au Web Design, Web development, Graphic Design and Complete Internet Solutions an industry leader with commercial IT experience since 1994 . --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
