So I installed an instance of SQL for an application (WSUS) and all was
well. Having read in many places that I could install multiple instances of
MSDE on the same box, I started the second install today (Live Communication
Server). The MSDE install portion of LCS gets almost completed and then it
rolls itself back and fails with Event ID: 11708. Now when I go back into
the SQL Server Service Manager it says not connected and there are no
Services available in the drop down list, including the one that should be
there for WSUS. Should I just reinstall WSUS again (hopefully I won't have
to reconfigure all of the updated approval/deny settings). Any thoughts on
why the second instance fails? Thanks in advance.
