I am interested in installing both SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server
2005 b2 on the same machine. Can they both be installed on the same machine
without conflicts? As in two different instances?

From what I understand of the installation process, and the fact that
Express *wants* to be in a seperate named instance, I'd guess it'd be
fine. But at the end of the day, the fastest way to find out is to
suck it and see...
