manual way to rename instance of analysis server?

is there a way to manually rename my instance of analysis server 2005? i have a 32bit machine, and the 32bit version of sql server 2005 and analysis server 2005 installed, yet i continually get an error. this happens on my servers too, which are all 32 bit. does anyone know of a manual work around ( via regestry maby) to rename an instance?

You should not need to rename an instance.

Can you tell us what error you are getting? There may be another solution to your problem.

|||Yes, there is a way to rename the instance. Search for ASInstanceRename.exe program under %Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server. But, as Darren has suggested, you might want to not do it right away because it might not fix your problem and make things even worse since it is unknown what is causing your current problem. The utility operates on registry, service control manager, some setup related stuff, performance counters, redirector etc.
