    Folks, Can VS2008 and VS2010 be installed together on a Vista machine? I dont want to uninstall VS2008 until I am satisfied with what VS2010 can do.

              I have VS2003, VS2005, VS2008 and VS2010Express on my machine. Of course it won't boot but that's another story. No, it's fine really. I believe that you have to install them oldest first but that won't be a problem in your case.

                In the past I've installed 2008, 2010 and then some time later 2005. So it may not even be necessary to install them in any order at all.

                  Actually you should install them in order, some of the environment variables are reused... that's asking for trouble...

                      Yes. You can.It is working fine for me.

                      Regards, Koushik. Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out if they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you.
