I have a computer that has SQL 2005 standard on it. I was installing an application that uses SQL 2005 Express, and it installed the SQLExpress instance automatically. I do not, however, want to run SQLExpress on this box. I go into add/remove programs, and I do not see the separate instances of the program. How do I remove SQL 2005 Express without affecting my regular instance of SQL? Thanks in advance.

Just thought I would let everyone know I found the solution to this, and I feel a little silly because when you think about it, it is actually quite obvious. You go to add/remove programs, select Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and click remove. After a few processing screens, a window pops up asking what instances or components you want to remove. You can select the Express instance here, and it will remove just the one instance and any instance you do not select, will not be affected. Cheers.
