I have been searching the web for weeks now on how to install SQL Server Express as a named instance and all the config.ini settings I tried and command prompt params I tried does not work. Can anyone help with a sample .ini file that actually works. At this stage it only opens up the command prompt if I try the .ini file and nothing happens Same happened to me.

I re-booted the machine and logged back in. When I use management studio and tell it to browse for instances on the local machine, it still shows the old name, even though @@servername is what I want to see... I did the drop server and it worked, so help! Thanks, Mark I just tried it. select @@servername shows the new name. I re-booted the machine and logged back in.

If I do this: "select * from sys.servers" it looks good, but when I try to log on to the new INSTANCE name it won't work.. the old one I can still connect to. I did a reboot of the system.. What am I missing here? Hello, I tried it..
