How do I install SQL Server 2000 ( 2005 already existing)?

Hi,
I have SQL Server 2005 installed on my machine. Now I want to install SQL Server 2000. However its giving an error like 'Procedure entry point could not be found' after installation.
How do I install SQL Server 2000 without uninstalling 2005?
Thanks in advance

If SQL Server 2005 exists as a Named instance, then you can install SQL Server 2000 as a Default instance without any issues.
If SQL Server 2005 exists as Default instance already in the machine, then you can't do it since SQL Server 2000 tries to install as a Default instance only. In this case, you have to uninstall 2005 first and then install 2000.
