"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001Yeah, I've installed 2005, 2003 and 6 in that order and didn't have any trouble, which is no indication that it will work when you try it.

Good-luck.

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001I think 2003 will hijack the .sln associations. But beyond that, I've had them working fine alongside.

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001I've done it both ways 2005 and 2003 later, and 2003 and 2005 later. Both work fine. When you double click a .sln after installing 2003 after 2005, you get the "Visual Studio Version Selector" it whatever it's called appear to ask you in which app you want to open it. C# files (and what not) do get hi-jacked, but you can restore associations within 2005 if you want to.

I don't know, I think there is some type of version difference there that will make sure the right VS opens the solution.

That program - Visual Studio Version Selector - is part of Visual Studio 2005. If VS2003 gets the extensions, it will attempt to open the files itself, then fail when it encounters the 2005-format files. If associated with 2005, solution files' icons get a '7.1' or '8' overlay in the top-right corner, as appropriate (it may even detect VS2002 files but I've never had 2002 and 2005 installed on the same system).
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
