I'm a bit confused. If you already have SQL Server Enterprise Edition
installed on a machine, why would you want to install MSDE on that same
machine? Why not just use the (presumably licensed) copy of SQL Server
instead?
You will probably have some issues getting MSDE to coexist with an existing
SQL Server installation, actually, as they're both essentially the same
thing. If you installed SQL Server using named instances, MSDE will probably
install ok, although I can't guarantee it since I've never tried it myself.
If you installed SQL Server using a default instance, I doubt you can easily
install MSDE unless you can install it as a named instance. I don't know
enough about MSDE installation to know whether it can be customized enough
to make that work.
Even if you could get them both running, I'm not sure what that buys you,
though.

Yes.
