Its common, if you have installed sqlserver2005ee before the vs2008 installation(including configuration tools for sqlserver2005ee- support).
Everything will be installed successfully with no error.
But when you will open the Sql Server Management Studio Express , it will aprompt you to enter the server name, even if you browsed for the server name or manually typed in "localhost", it will not work. An error will occur that server cannot be connected with or cannot connect to.
The only way or solution is to uninstall both the techno's.
And its not an easy job, even a single instance of any of the two may cause error or stop reinstallation.
Delete all the instances or files of the two programs- from the control panel as well as searching in the program directory for vs 2005 and vs 2008 and sql server 2005 express edition folders- delete tham all.
Follow the installation sequence as discussed in the Software Update-2.
