Can I run SQL2000Dev and SQL2005Exp Side By Side?

Have an asp.net 2.0 application that I want to enable a "demo" version of with the required tables. The tables currently exist in SQL2000Dev on a server. I have installed SQLEXP on a clean box and restored the database to it no problem. Now I want to install SQLEXP on my dev pc side-by-side with the SQLDEV instance. I could not find any reference to this ability other than some warnings about the pre-release versions. Can it be done safely?

Thanks, Paul

Absolutly. Install them to different instance names and it will work just fine.
