How to add Full Text Search to SQL2005

Hi,
We have a server with SQL2005 Standard Edition installed. We did not install
Full Text Search and want to add it to the existing default instance. The
attempt to install it says it is already installed when we know that it is
not. Is this a known bug?
Thanks
Chris
Seems you have to give the actual instance name, MSSQL for the default,
before the install will happen.

You might get a faster answer if you re-post this to
microsoft.public.sqlserver.fulltext. They deal specifically with FTS
issues.
