Installing MSDE prevent Query Analyzer to start from EM

    I have got an XP machine where I have installed a SQL Server for my testing.

    I recently started working on a vb.net project requiring MSDE. After executing the Setup, made using Install Shield, including the installation of an instance of MSDE I can't start the Query Analyzer on my "normal" SQL server or any instance, I am having a message saying "the specified file can not be found". I have to do a system restore to recover this funciontanility.

    I would try re-istalling the SP for SQL Server not the MSDE; it fixes about half these types of problems for me. I would guess that the MSDE changed an exe or dll setting. The SP 3A or 4 registors and installs alot of DLLs & EXEs so it might fix it.
