MSDE on machine with SQL Server

Hello,
A named instance of MSDE will be installed on our clients machines along with our VB.Net during the installation. Will this work fine even if the client already has SQL Server on his/her machine. I mean will the installation of named instance of MSDE wor
k smoothly even if SQL Server already exists. If yes, then does that apply for both SQL Server 7 & 2000. If no, then what should I do.
Thanks
dev
You should have no problems, as long as you are installing a uniquely named
instance. This is true even if SQL Server 7 is already installed on the
system.
