Creating another instance of SQL Server 2008
I already have 1 instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 express edition installed on a server - SQL Server 10.50.1600.1. and I want to create another instance. If I go to the server properties, it shows the Product as Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition with Advanced Services (64 bit).
I could not find anywhere that specify that SP2 has been installed except in Programs and Features where I can see that there are and other related SQL Server stuff:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup (English)
Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 ENU
My question is when I try to install another instance of SQL Server 2008 Express Edition with Advance Services - SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe I get the attached warning asking to installed SP1 or later. Is that normal?

Installing SQL Server 2008 R2 avoided the need to install SP later on.
