I have got SQL Server Desktop Engine running with 2 database and I need
to install the evaluation version of SQL Server 2005 instead. A
straight upgrade does not seem to be possible. Does someone know if
backing up the databases, uninstalling the desktop engine, installing
SQL Server 2005 and then importing/restoring the databases would be an
option to look into
