the first SQL Server instance you installed hase become the default instance
becouse you did not provide instance name...
in order to install other SQL Server and/or MSDE instancese, they must be
"named" instances...
please see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/distsql/distsql_84xl.asp
for further info about all parameters accepted by the setup.exe installer
bootstrap of MSDE...
