SQL-Server-2008

I have installed VB 2008 & Microsoft SQL Server 2008 DataCenter Edition on Windows 7 64bit.

When I want to run the SQL Server I always have to run the SQLExpress database engine server and cannot run the MSSQLServer database engine. Also I cannot select that from using the "Browse for more" option.

What I have done wrong in order to use both these Database Server's side by side!

Thanks

It won't help the OP since they are very confused about the edition that s being run. DataCenter won't run on Windows 7.
