Dual installation SQL 2005 Std. and Express

Hi everybody,
I had SQL 2005 std. edition installed and I install SQL 2005 express
after that. I have no trace of the express installation. Neither in the
add/remove program nor under \Program files directory!
Is dual installation possible?
Are files copied to the same directories?
thank you very much
sergeHi,
I found that I had to install SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE)
but it cannot be installed when SQL Server Management Studio standard
edition is already installed. How can'I remove SSMS? It does not appear in
the add/remove program. And the Microsoft warning messsage shown during the
installation of SSMSE is truncated!
thank you for your time

Yes, you can install both. The add/remove programs entry is shared. You
can selectively change/remove instances using the single entry.

The default location is "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server". You will
have numbered subfolders(e.g. MSSQL.4) for instance-specific items.
Hope this helps.

instance. For example, connect to instance 'MyServer\SQLExpress'.
Hope this helps.
