MSDE installation

Hi!
If I've installed SQLServer 7 and I install (for error or not) MSDE 2000 ... what happens? I mean, MSDE overwrites SQLServer 7.0 engine? My SQLServer will be crash?
Thanks in advance.

SQL Server/MSDE 7.0 and SQL Server/MSDE 2000 can cohexist on the same PC...
the 7.0 code based installation can only be the "default" instances, while
the 2000 will be a named instance...
SQL Server 2000 intruduced instances support, where up to 16 of them, with
different service pack level, can happily be present at the same time, with
their own binaries... only the client tools will be shared among all
instances, usually at the higher installed service pack
