VS 2005 beta 2 and VS 2003
-
Anyone know if it's "safe" to install VS 2005 beta 2 on a dev machine with VS 2003 on it? Or will I just be screwing myself? Anyone else tried it? I just recieved it in the mail today and I am curious about installing it. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)!

The only problem I've found is that after installing the VS2005 beta 1, the VS2003 MSI projects spit out some error messages, unfortunately requiring a click on a dialog, but then proceed along happily. Don't know if they've fixed this with beta 2. The other problem a friend had was after installing beta 2, which installs SQL2005, his SQL2000 installation stopped working. But he might have been doing something strange, or might have been trying to install SQL2000 after installing beta 2. I'm not sure. Something to be aware of though, I guess, as he had to completely uninstall everything. Marc MyXaml Advanced Unit Testing YAPO

Oh, one more thing. ASP.NET development is hosed. There's something somewhere about how to tell IIS which .NET framework you really want to use. Again, this is something someone else encountered. I don't recall the link that talked about fixing the problem. Marc MyXaml Advanced Unit Testing YAPO

I believe one should never install any Microsoft beta of any product on any partition you need to use every day for development. They have a reputation for messing things up to the point where you need to re-install Windows, or the CLR, or your applications. Sometimes everything goes well, but you never know -- until several weeks later when all the problems have surfaced, and too late for you. Maybe it works fine for everyone except your particular configuration. Why take a chance?

I'm doing it and it's fine. Only thing is that VS 2005 takes over file associations, but that's no biggie. cheers, Chris Maunder

i'm aware of it, and even worse, management has decided to use beta2 for development, and it seems that they won't take 'no' for answer. my paranoia level is already reaching 10...

We've tried it, but as we're doing add-in development we need images with at least VS2003, VS2005 and VSS on the machine. Quite frankly for us it's worth risking one machine to do this rather than using VPC in this case.
