   Dear SQLers:   
      
        I decided to install a second instance of SSE2008 on my Win7 box.   
   The installation went fine.   
      
        I started up SSMS, and the new instance was not listed.  The   
   dropdown listing the instances did not include the new instance.   
      
        Shouldn't SSMS be able to find them?  Isn't that what the   
   "" selection and the "Browse for Servers" page are   
   for?   
      
        I did finally add it manually, and now, it is there for good.   
      
        How would I find all of the instances on a system if I did not   
   know the names of any of them?  Is it simply a matter of looking   
   through disk directories?  (This strikes me as rather hokey and that I   
   am probably missing something.)   
      
   Sincerely,   
      
   Gene Wirchenko
