MSDE and SQL Server 2000 client Coexistance 1

[forevertechie]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.

I have SQL Server 2000 client installed on my work machine (and I do not have access to any SQL instances,neither locally nor on the network) and want to have MSDE 2000 installed on this machine so that I could have a local instance of SQL Server engine to try out some DB-centric apps.

My question is, can both SQL Server 2000 (Client) and MSDE 2000 coexist on the same box without interfereing with each other's installation/execution? I do not want to disturb/alter the existing installation of the SQL Server 2000 as it is a part of my company's standard build?

Any tips/suggestions/comments are most welcome.

Thanks for your help in advance.
