I'm trying to load SQL Server 2005

I'm trying to load SQL Server 2005 - Developer Edition on a 64 bit Windows 7 system. It has visual studio 2008 installed and Visual FoxPro 9.0 installed. Also Word Perfect x5, and SQL Server 2000 enterprise Edition.

Keep getting a newer version exists aborting message. Any ideas.

Try install it as a Named instance.
If you have SQL Server 2000 already installed maybe it is installed as Default instance.

Visual studio 2008 probably installed SQL Express 2008, which is newer than the 2005 you are trying to install. Go to add/remove programs and see if SQL Express 2008 is in there.
