Add new SQL Server in "SQL Server Group"

Hi,
Does anyone know how to add a new SQL Server under the "SQL Server Group"
using Enterprise Manager other than run the setup.exe in MSDE?
Thanks.

SQL EM does not actually create new instances of SQL Server. It only
"adds" instances of SQL Server that already exist to its UI. To create a
new instance of SQL Server, you need to re-run the SQL Server
installation and apply the necessary service packs. I'm not sure MSDE
supports multiple instances. It might, but I'm not sure.

Thanks. MSDE does support multiple instances. I am just trying to find a
better way to add a new instance.

If you merely wish to administer an existing SQL in your SEM, then right
click the server group, and select Register server
